what are the current trending programming languages/technological skills to have in the upcoming years with direction technology is heading? i'm teaching myself swift to go into iOS development but unsure if it's a market that's on the downhill

Just get really fucking good at assembly then work as an embedded SWE. Job security for days

where would be the best place to start getting good at that?

R and Python, because bioinformatics is the fucking future (particularly genetics/epigenetics).

Python and JavaScript are the main, "cool," startup languages. They're spreading into bigger companies all the time.

Java and C++ are popular in enterprise environments.

All I can say about Swift is that I don't work with it and nobody else I know does. There is a market for it, but it isn't nearly as big as Python/JS/Java/C++.

>actual stuff that'll most likely stay for longer
Security, every kind. (If iot becomes an actual trend, than embeded sec will be a huge job market.)
Any sort of data "science"
Cloud computing

And persinally I think bioinformatics has a promising future as well. Genomics has been developing very fast in the past years

For cutting edge technology, asking purely about programming languages:

If you want to get paid, and don't care if you understand what you're doing: Python

If you want to get paid, and care if you understand what you're doing: C++

The important thing to note is that a programmer shouldn't know a language, that only markets you to recruiters. To get a very high paying job doing something very interesting, you have to know the theories (and often math) behind complex topics. Eg, AI or Machine Learning.

IOT is being pushed really hard. Not sure how long it'll last but right now if you have a few years experience with firmware and bluetooth it's not hard to get a six figure job. It's like being a webdev at the height of the .com bubble. Everybody wants to get their toilets and toasters controlled through an app and there aren't enough people with the skill for it.

Just to be clear, you're giving "caring if you understand what you're doing" as a prerequisite, right? Because C++ has all kinds of crazy shit that practically nobody understands, even if learning it (and the subset of it that intersects with plain C) is a better way of learning low level programming fundamentals than something like Python. There are plenty of C++ guys why barely have a clue what they're doing.
