Hi Lemmy! Confused about what programming language to learn next. (lemmy.world)

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?

Those neat little python libraries that makes it go really fast is written in C. It's a neat little trick to have up your sleeve if you want to take your python profencie to the next level.
