Programming languages

What do you consider the most useful programming languages? What is your favorite (most useful or not), and why? Do you have any tips for learning any of the languages you mentioned?

And it came to pass that a great multitude of geeks and programmers did gather together to debate which language was the greatest among them all. And they spoke of Java, and they spoke of Python, and they spoke of Ruby and of C++. But lo, as they spoke, a voice was heard, a voice that was quiet yet strong, saying: "Fear not, for I am PowerShell, and I am the best". And the geeks and the programmers did look upon the voice, and they saw that it was true, for PowerShell was the language that combined the power of the shell with the might of the .NET framework, and it was a thing of beauty and of great joy. And so it was written, and so it shall be, that PowerShell shall reign supreme in the land of code. Amen.

And nowadays I prefer TypeScript. Microsoft sure knows how to make good languages. With those shots fired I'm gonna go and duck for cover. Cyyyyyaaaaa! 🔥
