Applications not written in javascript are either old programs still maintained or software which require a degree to even understand the problem it solves, and if you have a degree you don't need to care about language since you are supposed to be able to learn a new one in a week at best

Go is pretty decent. Anyone who says it isn't hasn't worked with it before in any depth.
Christopher Campbell
Go was made to fill a specific niche at google. It is NOT a general purpose language no matter how much the fanboys want it to be true.

The answers vary wildly depending on field, location, level of experience, and loads of other factors. The real red pill is that language knowledge doesn't matter, because good companies know that the only software developers worth hiring are those who can learn quickly on the job.
If you don't care and just want a cushy job writing code, then you're probably going to get into some web/service company. In which case, knowing Python and JS will be enough to get you into the majority of decent jobs available. Ruby, Perl, Java, etc are also in demand, but those two will generally give you the best mileage.
Anyone's guess, but JS isn't going away any time soon thanks to web cancer.

For job Java, JavaSript, C++ and PHP but all of them are terrible. Also all are popular buzzwordy languages so there's lots of brainlets "coding" in them and thus lots of awful, buggy code to work with. I'd consider sudoku if circumstances forced me to do any of those.

JavaScript
WebAssembly and JavaScript
People don't want websites anymore, they want wabapps. They want heavy lifting calculations going on in the fucking client, they want to open up your webapp and have it process data right there. JavaScript isn't good for that. It's too slow. WebAssembly will step in for the heavy lifting client-side calculations, and JavaScript will gracefully drop that responsibility to focus on reactive presentation and page routing.
