Just a kid with a computer here. I am familiar and have reached a reasonable level of fluency with javascript and python, with typescript being a somewhat satisfying switch I made.

It’s been 4 years, I haven’t touched another language. I wanna study something future proof and genuinely helpful. The reason I never went beyond js and py was because I already had everything I needed, I could make anything I wanted. I really want to dip my toes in the strong programming waters.

Can you suggest a language?

    Well if you know already JS and Python, I think you are covered on the dynamically typed languages side. I would go on either a functional programming language or a statically typed one next. There are a lot of choices in both categories. Anyway, it’s also important to improve knowledge of algorithms, OSes and even computer architecture a little bit (assembly is still a good didactic tool, imho). Good luck!
