I am a web developer (former desktop apps developer, game developer and mobile apps developer). I know C, C++, C#, Javascript. I am mainly developing for backend using microservices, .NET, Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, Elasticsearch.
I am learning Vue for work (I joined a company where I have to do full stack ) - which fits my mental model and I enjoy better than Angular and React.
But I also want to learn another language. I enjoy Nim a lot but I wouldn't invest more time in it because almost no one is using it. I've learned a bit of F# and I enjoy it, but there are no F# jobs.
Python is ok, but I am not sure what to do with Python as a web developer. It isn't the best tool for large web applications and I don't plan to transition to ML, data science or DevOps where Python has most use cases.
Next in line are Go and Rust. Go has more jobs and Rust is beginning to pick up steam. However I don't see how using Go or Rust for web is going to be better than sticking to .NET.
So I am asking what language can help me the most as a web developer. Help me means that there are some jobs, usage is on the rise and the language and the ecosystem has some advantages like performance, speed of development, better code maintenance or whatever.
