If you're into IoT type stuff (or other real-time thingies) I can also recommend Elixir. It's my current favorite language and very good for these things (https://nerves-project.org/ https://nerves-project.org/). The downside is that it's not a very mainstream language. The upside is that it's arguable one of the more 'unique' languages out there (alongside Erlang), and IMO just really fun.
