In His presence the mountains quake and the hills melt away; the earth trembles and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before His fierce anger?

lots of things are written in python and ruby (most of it's bad tbh)

something in the c line of languages might be useful

html, css, javascript if you want to make pretty websites and things

don't worry the skills are so transferrable, just sit down and learn one, you learn 'em all

just learn PERL then when you get a job that requires you to do AngularJS just sit down the night before your first day with some hot cocoa and read the 20MB of plaintext documentation for JS and Angular and if you have some time after that read every open github issue and source code comment. take a few tutorials on the preferred package manager and on how to make a module or plugin or whatever.

programming is just one homogenous practice
