Which language to learn for quant work?

I have a solid basis in Matlab and some experience in R from my undergraduate degree in mathematics. I will soon be starting a MSc in Financial Mathematics with the intentions to go into quant work. I know this is a fairly ambiguous question, but I was wondering what my best bet was regarding learning an object oriented programming language.

I’m not a finance expert, but I’d say based on the languages you already know, Python. It has some great libraries for finance, graphs, and analytics. It’s used for data science even more than MatLab and R

I think it’s all right, but it might be hard to focus on either. Python, in my opinion, is easier than C++, so it might be better to start with that and move on to C++.

Thank you Ariela, I'm fairly new to this all. Would it be wise to learn Python and C++ at the same time, or is this a rather unrealistic task?
