I am in business for myself. Most of my income in the last year has
come from working with C/C++ and PHP as far as programming languages
are concerned. I had worked with Java earlier , and it was paying the
bills for a while, although it created a strong temptation for me to
use profane language. I strongly dislike continually being forced to
use a semi to move a roomful of furniture. I eventually convinced the
client to migrate to PHP.
C/C++ rank up as the second most popular language in the world, and
PHP is probably 4th or 5th. It seems like you've found a good
compromise. You choose not to use Java because you don't like it, but
you are using "popular" languages (though not as popular as Java). I
think you're proving my point.
