programming pro here, listen to these anons:
this anon speaks truth
this anon is also correct, but I'm not sure you got what he was saying about the >Aryan-tier stuff
this was the important part:
the math is the hard part. The programming language is just a tool for making the computer do math.
Can you read and understand academic papers on encryption, or simulations or whatever? Because that would be the minimum level required for the type of thing he's talking about. If not, and you still want to into programming (and be employed as a programmer), I'd look at what the most in-demand language is for the level of education and qualifications you expect have.
So let me reiterate what some others have been saying: the language itself is not as important as your ability to understand the problems you are trying to solve.

Learning a language is a good short-term / mid-term strategy. But remember there is nothing more depraved and sad then Le 51 y/o Programmer still futzing about his 'red stapler' in the corner.
At some point every smart developer works out transition plan to slowly migrate into upper management.
