I want to learn another programming language now that I’ve been using Python for over 2 years now. I am kind of leaning on learning JS so that I can use it for the backend and also for the frontend. But the syntax is kind of weird. I heard Go is pretty good for the backend and also is compiled. What do y’all say? I also welcome other language recommendations.

    Personally i prefer go, but these are pretty standard languages; so learning the in’s and out’s really isn’t all that time consuming (you aren’t going to have to change how you think about programming like say rego). Since you have python experience these should be no big deal, but maybe worth playing with a bit if you are trying to get a job in either language and need to cross off that bullet.

    As for expanding your learning, i’d try something like functional programming (haskell), or query language like rego above. Neither of these will be great for your resume though.
