Oh no, my question is not about money at all. My question is about being mighty scientist having some programming skills as core ability. Also my question is about being a good man, for example, I do not want to develop (or to help to develop) any malware, weapons, fake news providers and surveillance stuff.

For science, Python probably, it gained much tracktion in scientific community in the recent couple of years. But it's only a subset of "programming". C-like languages usually offer to become full-time programmer. In science you may need to read books and papers more often than to code I think.

By the way, I do not think I need advices about good ways. Please, bad ways only.

[aleksv]

You can only create "bad" code in programming, there's nothing bad in programming I know of. Ah, don't forget that as per GitHub statistics, programmers usually have psycho-neurological problems, it's a hard thing for the mind to stay in balance.

[eimrine]

Do you really have that psycho-neurological problems? If yes, what do you think has caused them? Another question is how to predict which technology will have a long live, like Facebook's React, and which one will die shortly after birth, like Google's Angular.

[aleksv]

Yes, to some degree, I have problems, but not too severe. The problem is you have to think logically, this puts your mind into "black or white" mode, and you have to find strength in yourself not to apply it to all surrounding life. There's no way to predict which technology will last longer. I think C will last indefinitely, because it's an "optimal" close-to-machine language. C++ is much better at coding large systems, but you have to be very smart at handling it, it has a lot of "hype-driven" innovations, not necessarily needed. Web is a very "interpreter" driven market, so "interpreters" will born and fade indefinitely, you can't predict it. Too many ways to do the same thing, basically.
