26k blockchain projects launched in 2016, 92% are now dead 9 years ago

Ask HN: Is getting my CompSci degree worth the lost work experience? 14 years ago

Professionally - Ruby and JavaScript.

I have some experience with other languages such as C, C++, Java(Java seems to be my school's favorite language), Python and a few other more obscure languages(Common Lisp, Haskell), but I have not been paid to write anything in those yet.

I realize potential future employers will probably only give me credit for Ruby and JavaScript unless I create some amazing open source projects in one of the other languages and that employer considers open source projects in their hiring decision.
