Imo a dynamic language that is object oriented. You need to look if they have nice syntactic sugar and a good standard library. I do JS because I know that best and find web dev fun as a hobby. But I would choose Python if I would want to thoroughly learn a new language. Why? It is less annoying than JS most of the time. * Shorter line count (b/c no {} ) * Some set operations are O(1) and in JS O(n) * better k/v mapping such as using tuples as keys. In JS you have to stringify such a key. * deque data structure (in JS I remembered some boilerplate for this to hack things together. Both have a good REPL though, iPython vs Chrome. Both have no boilerplate: print(“hi”) console.log(“whoop”) Both have simple closures. Need a function definition inside another function def? Closures. Lambas, easier ones than. C++. No capture values nonsense or r-values, l-values, x-values. No memory management. Sure you have RAII but with JS and Python you have “no worries” (tm). Final tip: look at like 20 leetcode answers in different languages and find which language you like because of it.

I am also interested for junior SWE roles.
