C0D4669445yYes, and no they usually dictate the language(s) you'll learn to use,
Can you learn another language?
Yes, but you'll still have to do everything in the language(s) selected. -
Asking questions about your life choices to random strangers on the internet and taking their "yes" without any pros or cons? Doesn't sound like a good idea.

sirjofri5175ySometimes you can choose the language for specific tasks. We had to implement a few design patterns in the language we wanted. I chose c++ (instead of java). Hm, now that I think about it, I should try implementing them in C as good as possible. I like C but it's not object oriented and schools love object orientation

SomeNone7135yComputer Science is, at least where I studied it, more about concepts and theories than what programming language to use. It helps if you are good at picking up different languages quickly. In my case, we used Scheme in the introductory Programming lecture, C++ in Algorithms and Data Structures, Modula-3 was used in that class later when I was a tutor for it, Java for some seminars, C for Systems Programming…

Well, the programming language does not matter in the end, as it's the concept of programming that's the essence of what you should learn. If you understand it, it's easy to learn new languages.
Also, don't underestimate CS. It's much more than just plain programming! But some people (like me) love theoretic informatic.. -
@VINDIC Do you think there's a generic yes/no answer that applies to anyone under any circumstances? We don't know your personality, talents, preferred method of approaching problems, cultural background, country... basically nothing. Why do you think our answer would be correct? Who will be responsible if we're wrong?
