Comments
Statistics is important , but should not go to the
crowd, trend is more important
Technology trend goes up, and down. Number of
users/applications is more important
If you are master one/two languages, the next one is
more simple  Choose the most interest one for
you.
Actively join some technical forums (not much) to
learn from experts
Build your own program or solve problem/algorithm
by your favorite language.
