Please forgive my English.
Python will greatly expand what you can do, even backend with things like django, also there are amazing frameworks like tensorflow for IA, magenta for IA and music, you can automatize boring stuff ( which by the way, if you use Linux or Mac adds another layer of possibilities to get things done fast and efficiently). If you really want to understand how things work at low level, learn c++ it also will give you the tools to learn any language faster since most of them inherit from c it's sintax.
I had a lot of trouble learning front end coming from c, so it might be hard to learn it first for you, in that case, python should be first.

Also, a question for you op, I really love using vanilla js since it seems to me I can do everything I need without things like jquery, is any reason to use it aside from the fact that the lines of code gets massively shorter? Maybe it is kind of a dumb question I'm such a n00b xD
