I guess c++ is the way to go

Only for the criminally insane. Java is the way to go.

There was a time, I thought I could do everything I needed/wanted with Matlab ...

The reality is, like in everything else i life, you need more than one just language to prevail.

Patent something that everyone uses.

ALGOL uses for.
Fortran uses do.
Cobol uses perform varying.

They are all incrementing loops and can be used to make hundreds in fractions of microseconds, let alone hours.

Well what do you already know? Do you know a place to advertise it? Do you have experience? People with experience get payed more. What projects would you take on? What are your skills?

You can't just decide one day that you want to be rich and learn a programming language. To get payed the big bucks you need to have experience like any other job.

ALGOL uses for.
Fortran uses do.
Cobol uses perform varying.

ALGOL is used on Unisys A-series (or it was twenty+ years ago when I dabbled with those)
FORTRAN is still used by the met office for some of their high precision number crunching
COBOL is used by every commercial bank in the country, a lot of insurance companies and some high street retailers

Learn an IBM mainframe skill and you'll easily pay off a mortgage. There's lots of 21-30 year olds entering into our old play pen and getting paid richly for working with some seriously old c**p.

If someone is willing to pay you hundreds per hour, it won't be for the choice of language.

My most valuable skill is S/370 (24-bit) assembler which morphed into S/390 (31-bit) assembler then became zSeries (64-bit) assembler. Then a couple of database management products (IMS DL/1 and DB2 SQL) and a transaction manager (IMS DC). Plus I've seen more than enough COBOL and PL/1 to last a lifetime.

If there is such a reward for knowing a particular language it is likely that language is extremely obscure and/or esoteric. But which of those will prove to be a winner ? It is going to be a bit of a gamble that you choose the right one and there is someone willing to make you rich for knowing it. You might have to learn them all and may still never strike it rich.

You could start with Autocode and work from there. That was the first language I was ever exposed to when I found a reference book on it in the school library.

Since you had to ask, you won't succeed. Sorry.

that's about as obscure as you'll get. Re-programming the Voyager 1 mission with code that was obsolete in 1977.


Sorry about the link to El Reg.

The problem isn't knowing FORTRAN, it's knowing whatever obscure assembly language that was used. And, of course, writing tight enough code to fit in a small amount of memory.

I am reading couple books and learning some programming languages and also learning the Linux command line. I don't find anything difficult i just find it hard to remember "codes".

Okay...I haven't used this in at least 40 years... In order to restart Monitor IID on an IBM 1620 Mod. I, at the console, press "Instant Stop", "Insert", they type (on the console typewriter), "4900796<release/start>". Having a "sticky" memory or odd details is very useful for a programmer, but the data you remember may not be useful later.

Well what do you already know?

It realy is quite simple
Dont live on beasley street the ppl that do have a common problem.

Their common problem is
That they're not someone else

I'm an OK C/C++ programmer working on embedded systems. It's a good living. But if I wanted to really earn some money, it wouldn't be with a particular language, but the area of work. High frequency trading pays very well in places like London. But I really don't want to spend 4 hours a day commuting. I know people who are very well paid at places like Amazon, Roku etc, but even they don't get in to the hundreds per hour. To do that you need to be contracting or be spectacularly good at a particular subject that is in demand. You don't get spectacular good at something or an in demand contractor just by learning a language. You need to learn the subject.

In my country everything is expensive. $500 a week is no money because prices are sky high.
Lets say i buy a television that costs $400 on amazon and bring it in my country.
That's $400 * 35% duty = $140
Then I pay vat as well which will equal to $30
Total spend on the television $570
That's the price of buying online buying the same TV locally would cost $700-$800
So i am trying to learn all i can.
