#Off Topic# ###What language to take up next### > Questions about **what language, technology, or project one should take up next** are off topic on Programmers, as they can only attract subjective opinions for answers. There are too many individual factors behind the question to create answers that will have lasting value. You may be able to get help in [The Whiteboard](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/21/the-whiteboard), our chat room. There is a constant stream of new projects out there. Github [claims 4,500 new projects a day](https://github.com/blog/841-those-are-some-big-numbers) back in 2011. On December 23, 2013, Github had [10 million repositories](https://github.com/blog/1724-10-million-repositories). Quite frankly, there are far too many projects for anyone to suggest a good answer. Whats more, the projects of yesteryear may well be inactive now. The same problem exists for suggesting languages and technologies - they are constantly changing. A goal for Stack Exchange is to create a lasting repository of information. Asking questions about which technology to chose runs counter to that. In part because everyone's needs are different and also that everyone has their own favorites.
