Hi,
There was a graph plotted by someone with stackoverflow (langauge) tags on
x
axis and projects with the same programming languages on github on y axis.
They found that object C, javascript & python on the top right corner,
languages like erlang on the bottom left corner.
May be this will help you decide objectively.
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. "

Not all the time, you can decide based on the logic of numbers. Statistics
like that show what the "majority" of people are using. Times change. Also,
not everybody learns a language for their careers! I want to learn Erlang
and Haskell very well kowing that I probably will never use it ever in my
professional life...
Regards,
Arun
