Given that you are familliar with Javascript already. You can pick up nodejs easily. Using nodejs for a while will give you an idea of what backend development's daily life look like.
Once you understand the common tasks that are involved in backend development, it will be easier to switch programming languages. Python is a good choice for example, it is very versatile and has been used to program various backend server. It is also being used extensively in scientific computing, machine learning and etc.
- bloomca 10y agoYeah, basically I can use node.js almost instantly for writing actual backend, but as I said I'd like to avoid it. I want to broad my programming horizons via using new language, new environment and exploring new community – I know, all of this is possible via side projects and open source, but it is still a different thing.
