JavaScript and other one depending on domain you are looking forward to.

Riemann · 31-35, M

@ABCDEF7 Domain: Supply Chain Management.

ABCDEF7 · M

@Riemann Technology wise which domain. What you will be doing in Supply Chain Management that requires you to program.

Riemann · 31-35, M

@ABCDEF7 Probably: Demand planning, sales forecasting etc. However, I am sorry I moved away from my main point. I actually just want to learn a pl because in future programming languages could be very useful and common. It's not about supply chain.

ABCDEF7 · M

@Riemann You can choose R as other language.

Riemann · 31-35, M

@ABCDEF7 I was learning R but it's limited to stat stuff. Suggest me something overall.

ABCDEF7 · M

@Riemann If you are looking for forecasting based on ML & AI, you should go for python

Riemann · 31-35, M

@ABCDEF7 I have tried python but it's just not for me probably.

ABCDEF7 · M

@Riemann Then try java, if you think similar for that too, learn C++ first.

ABCDEF7 · M

@Riemann If you feel same difficulty with C++, then learn C first.

Riemann · 31-35, M

@ABCDEF7 I am thinking C#. What do you say?

ABCDEF7 · M

@Riemann
1. Dependence on .NET platform
2. Not easy to learn
3. .NET apps doesn't work well on Linux or macOS as native apps.
4. May include license fee on deployment

@Riemann Moreover, does C# solve your purpose of learning the language? Check what are common use cases of C#
