I believe i would go with either GO or JS.
Golang because i want to learn about cloud native applications.
JS because it can be used to build any platform's application.
[ web apps - React, mobile apps - react native, Desktop software - electron and so many frameworks/packages are there ]

I agree with both those languages for one more reason - the community.

Go has one of the most beginner-friendly communities for someone starting out in tech and I love the tooling and ecosystem around it. Also Cloud Native apps are going to start growing, so it is a good skill to have.

And of course I am biased but JS is something that gives you a lot of flexibility in the types of apps you can build later (mobile, web, multi-platform) and there are a lot of resources for folks getting into web development.

Thanks so much for the response!
