Focus on Logic Building Instead of Programming Languages

If you are into tech, I'm sure your mind would have asked you this at some point, which programming language should I choose? Which one is best? Should I pick Java or C++ for DSA? Java or Kotlin for app development? Angular or React for frontend? I had these exact questions a few years back, and now I see a lot of people on YouTube or LinkedIn saying Learn this one language, everything else is dead.
So hello, I am Priyanshu Chaurasiya, and I get similar messages in my inbox regularly. People ask me, sir konsi language padhu (which language should I study)? Bhaiya kis language se DSA karu (in which language should I do DSA)? Sir aapki konsi language future safe hai? So I thought, let's actually sit down and talk about this properly. What else are we waiting for, let's go.
The Question Every Beginner Asks
Almost everyone in tech has faced this confusion at least once in their journey, and most probably it hits during student life in college. It's necessary to get this confusion cleared early, because it genuinely helps in building a strong career. I've been through this question myself, I see people asking it all the time, and I keep getting DMs about it.
The confusion is real too, because the internet is flooded with every kind of content, and once a person goes through all of it, their mind just can't figure out which one is right, which one is wrong, which is future safe, and what they should actually choose.
But here's the thing, at the same time, the question itself is wrong. How, you ask? And if it's wrong, then what's the right question? That's exactly what I want to get into.
Why This Question Is Wrong
When a student moves from school to college, it's usually the first time they interact with coding and programming, and there isn't any specific rulebook to help them decide which language to pick. In school, our brain is used to someone telling us what to do, there are instructions, there's a syllabus. But here, in this new world, the student has to take the call on their own, choose domain themselves, choose the language themselves, and that's exactly where things start getting messy and the confusion kicks in.
