Hello everyone,

I’m currently exploring the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) as part of my studies and would love some guidance. As a student, I’m trying to understand which programming languages are considered most useful or essential for getting started in HPC.

For context, I’m planning to work on a project involving large-scale simulations and possibly some parallel computing. While I have basic knowledge of Python, I’m unsure whether I should focus more on learning C, C++, Fortran, or other specialized languages.

If you’ve studied or worked in HPC, which languages have you found most beneficial for educational or professional projects? Are there any specific tools or frameworks I should pair with these languages for a smoother learning curve?

Looking forward to your insights!
