Ideal Programming Languages to Learn in 2017

As of the time this post it being made, 2016 is coming to end while programming trends change. I Figured I'd point out ideal programming languages to learn in 2017 since I'm trying to understand new languages due to the fact that programmers are most efficient when they are updated. Note that the following are based on from what I experienced and what the progrmming language actually has to offer in terms of performance, jobs, opportunities, and popularity among companies.
C++
C++ has been around for quite some time now, yet newer programming languages that can compete with its speed. Its a go-to languages if you are figuring out what to use when you are developing a video game and critical programs that require short processing time.

Java
Potentially slower compared to C++ when handling multiple complex processes, it became dominant in  jobs market. It is used for online and offline applications, easy to maintain and debug. A lot of documentaion. One well known feature of java is that if you code one java program in one computer, you can run that same java program in another computer even if runs a different kind of operating system as long as that computer is installed with the Java Runtime Environment or JRE. Java is also used in Android app development.

Python
A prefferable first language to learn if you are new to programming due to its easy-to-pick-up nature. It can be used for a lot of purposes in a lot of ways. It's a high level programming language, meaning its code is mostly easily readable by humans when you are developing applications.

Javascript
Very widely used in programming websites' front end development. Javascript utilizes libraries like jquery. Node.js is based on javascirpt but works in the backend isntead.  If you want to develop websites, you MUST learn Javascript.
