For a lot of people just taking interest in programming [Web development], either in pursuit of a securing a first job as a developer or those looking to switch fields to the technical side.

Do you feel confused, like : .. I hear some say JavaScript, I hear Python, I hear Golang, I hear PHP etc. Which one should I focus on.?

My Answer
Basically it depends on what you want to do. Some language have better frameworks to handle certain type of project, at times it's the community behind it [the more active, the better] but sometimes it just comes down to personal preference.

Instagram runs a server written in Python. Facebook's largely PHP, PayPal- Nodejs, WhatsApp server is almost completely implemented in Erlang. etc.

The Right tool for the job is always the one that gets the job done with skills you and your team have!

If you are all js dev’s, JavaScript is the way to go. If you are versed with Python go with Django or Flask. If you started with PHP look at Laravel, Symf etc..

What tech blogs tell is the hottest tech 2019 does not matter, what framework gives the best benchmark results does not matter, largest eco system does not matter(as long as you don’t go with a dead/or too new fringe tech stack).

Most of these programming languages are evolving and improving, they aren't sitting in one place..
