"Nobody should call themselves a professional if they only knew one language!", Bjarne Stroustrup said on his informational video, where he discusses the top 5 languages a programmer should learn.
Notice his top 5 (he actually mentioned 7):
1) C++
2) Java
3) Python
4) Ruby
5) JavaScript
6) C
7) C#
These list of programming are what he called high performance computer languages and are widely used around the world. I doubt he mentioned C++ because he invented it but because C/C++ is the standardized, general-purpose, pervasive and the basis for several other programming languages.
