I think we are mostly in agreement. If an industry is standardizing on a language, it&#x27;s probably a good match for the kind of problems that they solve, i.e. for their problem domain.<p>Job availability is not just about number of jobs, but also about project quality, companies and personal preference. E.g: I don&#x27;t have an interest in containers, and most Go jobs involve containers, so this is a minus for Go.<p>This works in the other direction too. Let&#x27;s say I want to work for Mozilla, I notice they use mostly C++ &amp; Js, so I decide to invest time brushing up my skills in those areas.
