Answer 1

Identify the most popular languages to determine the highest job demand.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're going into college, then you are most likely looking for a career. The goal of learning a programming language is not to learn one so you can learn more, it is to create practical applications for them. The most popular programming languages are most popular because of their applications, and therefore jobs pay you to give solutions to practical problems. Unless you are looking at a specialty field, employers won't care that you know some super rare programming language that has no applications.
