If I'm already decent with C++, java, and basic web design stuff (html, css), what would you recommend i learn now? Is it worth getting good with python in 2024 or what
I’d maybe consider databases if you haven’t dipped into them yet, even embedded ones like SQLite are easy to play with, and they’re surprisingly useful. Most other coding languages you’ll have no problems with if you can handle C++ and Java.
One possible path if you want to go deeper into web development is to dive into javascript/functional programming/React framework.
Alternatively you go into mobile dev with iOS/Swift/SwiftUI or Android/Kotlin/Jetpack.
A nice thing is that SwiftUI and Jetpack use the React idiom so /1
python is pretty friendly and typescript is also friendly. There are practical applications for each.
That said, have you heard the good word about smalltalk?
If you're learning it for fun, I recommend assembly.
It's useless for most applications on its own but it's fun and interesting to see how things work at the bottom, and that's broadly useful across all languages.
Either that or write a compiler for your own language.
Personally, I'd look into messing around with WASM stuff. Rust has a really easy pipeline for it w/ yew and rocket, but loads of people use C++ for WASM frontend stuff.
I bought a course on C++ WASM before I decided on using Rust, It's really high quality. If you want a copy I can give it to you.
