Yes, this was an inane article... It also included the horrible 
advice:

"Languages you should not learn today
[...]

Java
If you’re not a seasoned Java developer or planning to work for a 
body shop like Wipro or Infosys, by the time you don’t suck in 
Java your friends will have run rings around you careerwise in 
JavaScript as “full-stack developers.”"

Er, a whole lot of backend code is not written in Javascript, and 
for good reason. Java is near the top of of the heap as far as 
hiring goes, and Java developers generally command a better 
salary than front-end developers. Java is also pretty good to 
work with today, Java 8 added a lot of nice functional features.

It's insane that Swift wasn't mentioned anywhere in the article. 
It also left out some interesting, influential languages like 
Haskell, Julia, Nim, Dart, Typescript and Clojure. I hope not too 
many folks are basing decisions on that tripe.
