The most useful programming language is JavaScript there isn't any competition. It's an absolute fucking knockout. You people are blowing smoke up your own ass. Python and other languages such as Go are very useful programming languages once you want to work on something very specific but you aren't going to get anywhere unless you also know JavaScript. So stop bullshitting yourselves and learn how to write E2015+.
Wrong mindset, your job will become obsolete in 5 years from now. If you focus your brain in only one language then you will never have the brainpower to switch languages as your language becomes obsolete.
There is none. It all depends on what you want to do and what the competition does. If the competition uses java or javascript then you must become better than the competition and use a language that will outperform them. It is completely useless to copy the competition because that way you never become better than them.
I know Pascal, C, C++ (Borland/Microsoft), C; F#, Delphi, Javascript, Python, 8080, 8086..Pentium, 68000...68020 , MMX, SSD, CUDA,... I probably forgot a few I think.
About all I can do, without a refresher and a lot of Google, is some PHP and Perl - maybe a bit of bash. I could bang out a hello world in C and C++, without having to reference anything. I can possibly do some Python without too much reference work - but it's been ages since I've used it.

My same guess... Python.
Its one of the mlst forgiving noncompiling language

Yeah sure learn multiple languages. The question was what is the most useful language.

ALL of them, or at least as many as you have time for. You don't need to be perfect in it, just understand 90% of it.

Not curmudgeon-y enough. Go back and try again!
Maybe, "All of them BUT [C++, C#, or F#]." Or, maybe, "Real programmers only use assembly!"
Sheesh... I have expectations, you know!

It's not like riding a bicycle, in my experience.
