Ask HN: How do I choose a programming language?

I'm a UX Designer and want to learn programming, mostly because I wanna build things myself with a focus on the web. But how do I pick a programming language?

Ruby - seems like a great choice but it's "dead" and it seems like it would be hard to get a job (I'm in Europe)

JS/Node - Seems to be something most people hate working with while also having tons of flaws

Golang - Seems much harder to learn and people don't seem to like it either

So how do I choose one? How do I start learning a language and which one would you recommend?
