I've read a couple articles online and the top two languages are SQL and java? Is this true, and what other languages would be useful for my skillset?

Not PHP, due to it being a joke language.

 

Maybe so, but it's the most requested language in the world right now. Knowing at least the basics of it would be very useful. As well as @AnnoyedShelf 's suggestions.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

What language should i really get into first? I know Java the most, and SQL the second most. Should I build on these more until I am excellent?

What exactly do you want to get in to? Cloud computing is a very broad term and covers a range of more specific computing fields and the languages used in that area

I'd love to be a cloud systems engineer or administrator. Cloud computing excites me a lot so I would be thrilled to be the one building the systems that run the services.

Cloud computing covers a huge number of fields. If you aren't sure which bit of it you want in on, your best bet is to hone your math and problem-solving skills. Learning all the latest technologies (languages) is about 10% of the work and in any case are constantly changing.

If your more interested in the systems side of it you will be better off getting your head around things like linux, AWS, virtualization software, etc than learning languages to begin with but honestly "cloud computing" is nothing new, its just a more friendly name for the general public to put a name to what they use. There isn't really anything special behind it until you get into high performance computing and supercomputers.

You'll probably want to know C or C++ eventually; it's useful to know how pointers work even if you are programming in a memory safe language.
