 No where else to go. What language do you use primarily? 
 Well, honestly, SQL, Groovy, and Visual Basic (for and against Applications) 😅 

Umm... PHP, Java, and I'm starting with Python because everyone says I have to. 
 You should learn basics of js before python imo. It's basically a requirement for any web development now.  
 I know some js. I usually avoid it because I'm a backend dev. Sort of algorithm-heavy stuff. 
 Backend is even more reason to learn go. Also you can use this cute logo I made

 when i was coming of age, js was a complete joke and no serious backend dev would even sneeze at it. now its all the rage. Fwiw I am no front end dev but people only seem to pay attention to the flashy flashy pretty stuff or drama.  I yearn to offload frontend and go back down to the important stuff. Maybe next year :D 
 I have frontend guys, thankfully.
They also peel my grapes and fan me with large banana leaves.

 Also, you should learn go just because I like it so much.
