Extremely offensive - it should be "'cause there's bugger all", not "it's".

There is already a couple of videos from people that made it back to the typical indian scam call center and hacked them away... but only closing the network is still way too nice.

I think they also informed the police and the police raided the premises after the call.
Goodness knows what happened after that... brown bags filled with cash being taken away by the police?

At some point in life, most people have stood over a rolled-out slab of cookie dough and pondered just how to best cut out cookies with as little waste as possible. Now, even math experts have given up on finding a computer algorithm to answer this type of geometric problem. I guess we'll have to get some AI involved
they get a cookie if they solve it

What's this "cutting the dough into cookies" thing? I just eat the dough. Yum!

Python is clearly the best choice, unless a better choice is Java or JavaScript. Let’s compare. The answer is clearly, "E. All of the above"
At least the set including the ones you'll be paid for, but also the ones you enjoy using.

Rust sounds appealing from what little I've read. Kind of a stripped down C++ but a bit paternalistic? Maybe someone who's investigated it in more detail can weigh in.
Julia, I had to look up. Good for numerical analysis and other weenie things?! It takes all kinds.
Anyway, you can't kiss all the girls. I'll cleave to the one I have.

I started trying to learn Rust and stopped. It's very, very fiddly and, to be absolutely honest, I find the syntax overly boggling.
It's gonna be big (especially if Microsoft make it part of Visual Studio, as is possible in due course) and I know I should know it but I wish I didn't have to.

It's a framework/class library that sits on Javascript. It is not a language in and of itself.
JQuery isn't a language either. It's a framework that sits on Javascript.
Neither is MVC.
People/pundits like to play fast and loose with the nomenclature, and more often than not, they're wrong.

It's 7 AM, pardon the lingering brain fuzz and the excessive use of quotes and the "if you don't get what I'm trying to say then you don't get programming."
"We" have been "programming" for what, 70+ years now. And the descent continues, that "programming" somehow means learning the "language." Do we, that know better, not hear the echo of our own screams when the light of the editor shines upon the dark recesses of code to reveal the lurking monsters bred from those that have simply "learned the language?"
When will people who write articles like this learn that it isn't "what you say", it's "how you say it" that is important!

Could have been posted as a rant, but I agree with your sentiment. It should be possible to describe a good design in a way that is language agnostic, although assumptions about procedural vs. object-oriented vs. functional could creep in.
However, some languages are more suited than others to certain types of applications. And some types of applications are on the ascent, and others are on the descent. This will speak to what languages are good to learn now, but learning a language won't fix a lack of either design skill or experience with the domain in question.
