I'd say go for your work projects' main backend language as you have a chance to learn in a context.

Otherwise I'd say Golang (more used for big scaled, projects that need speed or optimizing) or Python (more related to projects with ML or data processing).

I talked to other very senior devs, one likes Clojure, another likes Rust.. but they both know various other languages already.

Many backends at work are written in Roby on Rails, so that is close. One project written in Elixir, some PHP Symfony ^^ I believe there are even some teams that use Go
