The Pragmatic Programmer Books suggests you learn a new language every year. I suggest you learn 4 that will be beneficial to your career in 2009.

"It is one of two official languages used at Google and it does power a lot of their most profitable products."One of 2? I thought 4: Java, Python, C++, Javascript.And does it really power a lot of their most profitable products? Like which?(Not bashing here, Python is my main language and I love it.)

Not sure I get the logic behind the line: With the economic slow down, countries with emerging technology sectors and talented, well educated developers will be getting a second look as a means of cutting applicationd(sic) development costs.Surely with the economic slowdown developers in "un-emerging" economies will be more competitive?

I recommend checking out Clojure instead of Erlang.

Haskell instead of anything else. And then some Factor.Mandarin is a nice touch. I'll try that. Indians, however, speak English pretty well -- even if their accent might take some getting used to.

I think in 2009, I just wanna dig deeper about python.

I'm surprised they didn't mention arabic with mandarin and russian at the end.

Reminds me to break out my russian books ... I'm getting rusty

I recommend checking out Ruby instead of Python.
