Charles,
I heard Go was supposed to be a good language to learn. Interestingly, I
read an article saying Python will take over from Java. Personally, I
learned Python liked it over java. I have to look at Go.
Python is a wonderful language both for routine scripting (it's
conquering IBM i at the moment) and for scientific computing (see IBM
Qiskit for IBM Quantum Computing).
Go is a compiled systems language which is as powerful and efficient as
C/C++ while much more easy than C or Java to write and build your
applications.
Go is the only serious competition in the wide world for Node.js for
authoring microservices.
The New York Times web is built entirely on Go-coded microservices.
Attended when the project leaders spoke at Denver Gophers on the subject.
