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.

    I can only say what I would do were I 20 years younger, and that is focus on Rust. I write a ton of Python, JS, and Go. Among them, Go is the most enjoyable and in my view has the best tool chain.

    But Rust’s tools are even better. And it is very low level when desired, but you can still write even frontends with great wasm bindings and UI libs.

    In the end, it doesn’t really matter. Just write.
