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?

    After having worked with python and JavaScript quite a bit, I enjoyed diving into the C#/.NET ecosystem.

    If your goal is to make a career out of programming I would look at what languages are in demand in your region.

      Never wrapped my head around dot net. What can I do with it? I don’t see a lot of projects with it.

        Primarily cross platform websites and applications.

        A great open source .NET project is Jellyfin.

        Also, a fun fact is StackOverflow uses .NET :)
