Whats the best programming language to learn that is used the most

What programming language is mostly used our days ? I use loads but I want to know witch one to focus on atm Im just doing java and lua because Im making stuff with it but what else should I focus on?

Perhaps c or c++
But it's dependent what you want to do

Python or Java.
That's how I started programming.

Always C based languages, you rarely see python used commercially because it's utter shit. Don't go for what's easiest, go for what's practical. ©

I disagree with this. Python is NOT utter shit, and it is extensively used in machine learning, as well as in many toolsets for their scripts/utilities. C is also not a practical language in a modern-world, perhaps if this were the 80s or if we were talking about embedded programming. I do agree though that C-based languages are most popular.

Most used languages are probably Java, Python and C. I used to learn some Java but lost my interests

I think java like said above is pretty known, but C# is multiuse aswell.

for small projects whatever you live, for big projects java

To be fair there's no single programming language I have found that does everything you'd ever need a language to do.

So with that said I did create a nifty flowchart for these kinds of questions (bear in mind that this chart is not all-encompassing and I wouldn't recommend Ruby, Perl, Assembly, or C# for anyone wanting to develop applications that target large audiences or for those just getting their feet wet in programming):

I put the image in a spoiler since it's a big image and it'd be disrespectful for me to knowingly put a large image in an active thread that takes up a large portion of a page:

This actually fluctuates, but the best way to find an answer is with charts like one Tiobe, Link:https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

It's always C/C++, Java, or Python.

Generally the one you REALLY should learn is java. Very useful and powerful. Python is good but not a language too learn until you learn a few others first (Unless you really like a challenge!).
