What are the best programming languages to learn for a career in scientific computing?

AI Summary

I'm a physics student looking to transition into a career in scientific computing, and I'm not sure which programming languages I should focus on learning. I've been using Python for some basic data analysis and visualization, but I'm not sure if it's the best choice for more complex simulations and modeling.

I've heard that languages like C++ and Fortran are commonly used in scientific computing, but I've also seen that many researchers and scientists are using Python and R for their work. I'm looking for a language that will give me a good balance between ease of use and performance.

Can anyone recommend a language or set of languages that I should focus on learning, and are there any specific libraries or frameworks that I should be aware of? Will learning a language like Julia give me a competitive edge in the field, or is it still too new and untested?
