I want to learn another programming language now that I've been using Python for over 2 years now. I am kind of leaning on learning JS so that I can use it for the backend and also for the frontend. But the syntax is kind of weird. I heard Go is pretty good for the backend and also is compiled. What do y'all say? I also welcome other language recommendations.

I personally don't like anything JS related. I would simply recommend Go, but even that is not really my go-to. I found learning Nim quite entertaining, and it's middle -ground between Pyhton and Go, which can also target JS, if you want to.

@tuto193 How about Common Lisp?
