Where did you start and where are you now? I started off as a biofag chimp in matlab, started building up muscle on python and am primarily using R now for biomedical research. Dunno where I might go to in the future.

Apple BASIC around 1985, GWBASIC in the early 90s, C, C++ before it was standardized, Java from 1997-2015, C# 2015-present.

Use what makes sense for what you want to do/make. I needed to make a web app so I went with Ruby so I could use Rails, which saved me more time in writing code than it took to pick up Ruby as I went. Once you know one language relatively well, and general programming concepts picking up a new language is really not that hard.

I bought a new keyboard and it's such a nice experience typing on it that I switched from APL to Java.

That's not really how it works. There is so much overlap between technologies and languages that the more you know the faster you learn new ones.

I don't really deeply know any and I feel desperate because I haven't ever had a job and for the life of me, I can't focus on a single one and I feel retarded and hopeless because I never pick one and commit and never finished a single fucking project

If you continue with Odin, you're pretty much practicing Go. I'd say this could help your chances of getting a job, since Go actually has jobs.
