I’ve been working with a Javascript + Java + SQL stack for the last 10 years.

For 2024 I’d like to learn a new programming language, just for fun. I don’t have any particular goals in mind, I just want to learn something new. If I can use it later professionally that’d be cool, but if not that’s okay too.

Requirements:

  • Runs on linux
  • Not interested in languages created by Google or Apple
  • No “joke languages”, please

Thank you very much!

    Rust, haskell, python, c++ are all interesting choices. I would argue that c# is too close to what you already know to be interesting.

    If I were you though, I’d pick a project first, then decide what language makes sense for it.

      This is my favourite list in here, but I’d throw a Lisp in too.

      Lisp, Haskell, and Rust should all teach you something new and profound about programming.
