Maybe I'm getting old but are you really going to you choose your next job based only on the programming language used ?
Check the company, the salary, the benefits, the local environment (not the dev env, the geographic one ;-), the commuting, the crime rate, the restaurants around, even the "hotness" of your future colleagues but dude who cares about the programming language ?
- researcher 11y agoOk maybe its because I didn't mention it, but I got those factors covered. But I was talking from a technology standpoint, working with C++/Golang vs. working on iOS. They are different playing fields. What should I look to in future? But perhaps you made your point there with "but dude who cares about the programming language".
- jmnicolas 11y agoYes I think the language is not important : after 6 months coding in a language you loathe, the Stockholm syndrome will take effect and you will start to find excuses for it (some people still defend PHP ... need I say more ;-). All else being equal and if it's about your career path, I'd say the C++ / Go offer is more interesting : you will add 2 more languages to your skill list and I'd bet 20 years from now you will still find C++ offers. On the contrary you can't be sure iOS will still be a thing and even if it's still is, it will probably be completely different from what you do now.
