Python for job orchestration (Airflow) and data science (numpy, scipy, etc) , Java 16+ for the general enterprise, product development, Julia for HPC. C for embedded, C++ for games, highly intensive systems.
Can't have a most employable list without mentioning JS. Personally I'd swap Julia for JS. Apart from that this list tracks.
If you step outside of the HN language of the month bubble, you'll see lots of boring companies using languages like PHP and C#. They're not flashy, but they're used everywhere and aren't going anywhere. Sure, they'll be back office type jobs, but they will be stable with good enough benefits and probably won't tolerate rewriting the entire stack in the latest technology every 6 months. Then layer on JS/CSS with whic…
You know, many top unicorns use C#, many top gaming companies use C# (including Blizzard). Just because you have some weird anti Microsoft-bias doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong or "boring" with C#
A lot of Julia-based companies just hit big Seed A, Seed B, etc. rounds, with a lot more startups entering the space as well. There is a glut of Julia programmers in the industry now given all of this hiring. "Most employable" is hard because no one is in all places, but I can at least tell you that locally there is and will be a lot of hiring in the next few years here.
Find a programming language you actually like and want to use rather than what will be popular for this is the way to true happiness. You don't want to have to code javascript just because it's popular.
Pick one (or more) you enjoy
Frontend: Typescript (React + React-native) Kotlin, Java and Swift
Quite a good way of getting into mobile development is to start with react-native and learn the native languages by adding modules.

Lots of boring companies using C#? You know, many top unicorns use C#, many top gaming companies use C# (including Blizzard). Just because you have some weird anti Microsoft-bias doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong or "boring" with C#

I will summarize what others said and I will add my own thinking as well. Web Development: PHP and Javascript and its ecosystem Mobile Development: Java/Kotlin for Android and Objective-C/Swift for iOS Enterprise software: C++, Java, Rust and Golang Machine Learning, AI and Data Analysis: Python and its ecosystem Embedded: C and Rust Game development: C++ for PC and Game Consoles, Java as well for PC games, Java/Kotl…
One thing I'd add to your list. The Microsoft ecosystem is big in the enterprise, so C# should go on that bullet point.
