It's hard to know where it's going and concurrently learn the right pieces of that thing in the right time to not be late or early to the party...
So, learn the thing you can either learn the deepest or the fastest, or both... because nothing helps learning stick than being fascinated or having fun with it.
Sometimes you can learn on the side and sometimes it's healthy to bite off just a little more than you can chew if you are determined and learn some parts of it in real time.
Personally I think go, swift, javascript/react are going to be around for awhile and see many new projects in these. But I think this is on a rolling cycle; every 5 years seems like so many changes. Just seems like yesterday that rails was the coolest thing since sliced bread. Then there is java which just is everywhere. Rust is also very interesting, and seems to have a great community, job wise not many in comparison to either rails or js.
Finally however elixir seems cool. And slightly railsy. That might be next on my list.
