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.

#14What are freshers?
Most employable languages are still the enterprise languages.
1. Java and its ecosystem
2. JS and its ecosystem
3. Python and its ecosystem
I see more and more people are asking framework experience as well now.
1. Spring Boot
2. React
3. Pandas
Add AWS to your resume, you can probably ride AWS/Java/Python for the next 10 years.

#15Python 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.
No Rust, no Go? (Not that I am rooting for them)
Go maybe, especially for tooling, backend and ops work, from my perspective Rust will take a while longer employability-wise but probably still worth learning.

#16As a Python backend services dev I fear a lot of the Python popularity you see is data analyst and data science/data pipelines/ML roles so if thats not your bag then don’t go all in on Python.
Lots of companies doing cool backend things are doing Golang now, and I see Infra/SRE roles mention Go a lot.
and of course endless tons of both cool and uncool companies are still committed to Java.

#17Find 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.

Fresher is entry-level junior developer at their first job or looking for one. This term is mostly used in Indian context.

#19If 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 whichever backend language you like and you should be fairly safe.
Stack Overflow's survey may be useful to look at, too. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021#most-popular-...

#20I 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/Kotlin for Android games, Objective-C/Swift for iOS games and Javascript and its ecosystem for Web games
