Bored and want a hobby + possible income source

Right now I'm stuck on whether to go with learning Russian or learning one of the programming languages Python and Java. Russian seems to be the best language to learn when one factors in difficulty, as it is not too hard like Mandarin but not too easy like French either. I would hope to either become a translator or just steal English language web content and post it in .ru and make money online that way. But then I wonder how viable such may be, if Google translation improves. With Python and Java they also are not too difficult or easy, but I am concerned that I would hate to be a programmer (no offense).

So my question is, if you could go back in time to the day you settled down to learn programming, knowing what you know now, would you choose to learn programming or would you switch to learning Russian?

What is ``ancient Latin'' even? Ancient Greek is a thing, and Old Latin exists, but ``students of Latin'' don't learn Old Latin. This looks like it's trying to be Classical Latin, but the grammar is atrocious.
I wish people would actually believe that Latin (any stage of Latin) doesn't have yes or no. The correct answer to Legitne Marcus libros? isn't sic or non, it's Legit or Non legit.
