    Web Development languages are really useful to learn, they are also really popular cause many services now are used on web browsers. The main three languages is HTML, CSS and JavaScript. When learning them, it will be a bit different from general coding languages as HTML and CSS are used on web designs while JavaScript will be more similar in terms of logic.

    Other than those, Java is a nice language to learn and would be easier coming from python. Same goes for C++ which is very common in many applications.

    Since you have used dynamic script language, I suggest you to try static compilable language.

    The options are C++ (most common), Go (easy), Rust (powerful).

    C++ might be best in your case because python is usually used dynamically where as c++ is static and can be used to do almost anything whilst also being one of the fastest coding languages, if not the fastest

    c++ obvious get higher recommendation in a game forum. you can't go wrong with java though. anyone have thoughts on kotlin? maybe kotlin will be better time investment over java. but if you plan on working on the web, javascript then nodejs/reactjs is popular and makes you hire-able.

    You should definitely check out Rust, its very often used nowadays. But if you want to get a deep understanding how programming languages actually work and how memory works etc., learn C++.
