I don't know what your "language of choice" is, but here in the Sacramento area, the selection of languages which there are jobs available to be worked is somewhat limited. Yes, ES/JS suffers from its "look like Javascript/C++/C" * heritage, courtesy of the usual suspects from a marketing group. But get past the cosmetics, and you can do some nice FP things with ES/JS. * I'm in the camp that Modula / Delphi were MUCH better language(s) than C. But few groups were hiring for those skills back in the day - C and its spawn won out, sadly. At least C++ is pretty much dead outside of the video game industry. Good riddance.
