I learnt:

  1. Visual basic: Got bored when I was a kid and this at the time was recommended to learn. I've never liked it.

  2. Python: I wanted something more than Visual basic, my brother had been writing Python since 2009 and suggested it to me.

  3. Java & C#: I originally went into games development and found out that these two were the most popular for game development.

  4. C & C++: Its currently on my university course but back then I wanted to learn something that is involved in almost everything, you'll find them in operating systems, languages, networks etc

  5. Rust: I love the feel of Rust and the C/C++ aspects of it, the cargo package I have found to be very good also.

At university we're being taught web dev (HTML, CSS, JS, TypeScript) in the next year. While I know the first three to a good extent TypeScript is next on my list.
