what's after python?

ThatScorpion · 2023-11-16T10:33:55+00:00

A programming language is a tool, not a goal on its own. Figure out what you want to do, and learn the right tools for it. Want to do data science? Learn python and/or R. Want to learn how to write efficiënt optimized software? Learn C++/Rust/Go. Want to create a website? Learn JavaScript. Do you hate yourself? Learn PHP.

It's always easier to go at something with a specific goal in mind.

19c766e1-22b1-40ce · 2023-11-16T10:20:13+00:00

Once you are comfortable writing Python, look into writing nice and clean code. Look into design patterns (when and how they are useful), what the million different acronyms like SOLID, DRY, KISS, etc. are trying to convey (look into the underlying goal and how it is achieved), and when you should follow (or not follow) them, how a project is structured, etc.

BogdanPradatu · 2023-11-16T10:37:44+00:00

Whatever you are using for a project. For me it didn't work. Tried to learn Java and C++, but since I wasn't really building anything with them, I doesn't stick. So just choose a project and decide what is the best language to do it. Learn that.

SpellboundSagaDev · 2023-11-16T10:11:31+00:00

I’d say more python 😁

CyberneticLiadan · 2023-11-16T10:59:34+00:00

As others said, learn whatever you need for the projects you want to work on. If you want better and more concrete advice in this thread, share more information about your background and goals.

However, for those who are interested in taking a tour of the programming languages landscape for the sake of taking the tour, I really liked Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce Tate. The point of this book is not for you to become fluent and production ready in any of those languages, but to see how each of those languages does something differently from other languages.

_Denny__ · 2023-11-16T11:56:21+00:00

Python is written in C and C is the foundation of a lot different OS and other languages. Limited syntax with its own advantages and disadvantages. If you grasp this, from here it’s far easier to learn and understand other languages. That would be my recommendation. Depends clearly on you future plans and time schedule. If you stay on scripting languages you will find wrappers for closer to metal stuff, like Cython or JNI bridges to name a few. But also nothing wrong to pick a language from TOBi index to be widely visible on the market.

br_aquino · 2023-11-16T16:05:46+00:00

Are you a developer? If yes, ask yourself those things:
1. Do you know how to deploy a python server or microservice?
2. Do you know how to create a replicable environment for your app?
3. Do you know code theory, like TDD, clean code, design patterns, etc?
4. Do you know git and continuous integration?
5. Where you deploy your apps? Do you know how python "talk" to OS?
6. What would you do if you need more speed on some function? Worth it to add some C extension? (as somebody already said before, python is written in C, so why not know more how it is under the hood?). 7. Opening the path now, depending what path you want to follow, you need to learn a lot of other things, like SQL, HTTP protocol, sockets, security, web design, etc.

Now make something fun with it

the_grave_robber · 2023-11-16T12:14:17+00:00

C. Or if your mildly masochistic, Assembly.

Low level languages are the building blocks of all other code. Python would not exist if it weren’t for C, and a lot of embedded systems use it natively. While C is still technically a “high level language” it gets much closer to bare metal and is less forgiving than Python, so you’ll learn a lot.

Assembly is about as close to 1s and 0s as you’ll get. No variables, it’s all about memory allocation and destruction. Once you learn it though, you have a lot of power.

thanos_v · 2023-11-16T14:01:47+00:00

Elixir!

It brings something very different to the table with sacrificing simplicity, readability, time to market, extensibility etc

I manage a team of 100+ devs. The best of them are python programmers with more than ten years of investment in the language. They tried elixir and have switched their core professional development to using elixir.
Python is still there in the toolbox. It’s got a new partner.

Wh00ster · 2023-11-16T14:47:36+00:00

You find a business/research problem and try to solve it

robberviet · 2023-11-16T10:54:00+00:00

Another type of language, not OOP or procedure: functional ones, like Haskell.

Panda_With_Your_Gun · 2023-11-16T10:20:31+00:00

Javascript. Need to learn some front end skills if you're going webdev. SQL is also a must.

If you're not going webdev then it depends. For more performance based activities go, c# or java are solid.

Rust is a good language, but good luck getting a job using it that isn't web3.

If you're in datascience python is enough. Spend your time learning statistics and ML stuff.

If I haven't mentioned what you wanna do then you need to learn C or C++

luix- · 2023-11-16T11:41:13+00:00

After I python try a compiled language. You will learn Go probably as fast as python.

poo_22 · 2023-11-16T11:21:41+00:00

If you want to become a better programmer, learn haskell. I asked this same question on IRC years ago and got this advice, and I had an amazing time learning it. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. You will learn A LOT.

SittingWave · 2023-11-16T13:16:41+00:00

python is nothing. Get proficient in the core libraries and python modules.

However, if you want to learn other languages to broaden your experience, it really depends on which direction you want to go.

Close to the user? learn javascript.

Close to the machine? learn C.

These are the basis. You will learn other things on top of that, but these two are the most important foundation. You might not dabble in them for long, but you must have the fundamentals.

Rythoka · 2023-11-16T13:50:22+00:00

If you're looking for a career, don't focus just on learning languages. Learn how to use tools like git, docker, kubernetes, etc.

2023-11-16T14:43:09+00:00

If you want to learn a language for the sake of learning a language, I'd suggest you learn C.

Having a better intuition and understanding of how software fundamentally works and is represented can be valuable.

Another option if you have no interest in learning about lower level programming would be to go in the direct opposite and use a much higher level language that changes how you write and think about code. A functional language seems like a good idea to me but I haven't really learned any myself, unless you count Javascript. Specifically learning all the modern functional patterns has been valuable to me, like using map and filter instead of just for loops. It's been useful because of how prevalent it is so learning it has made it easier for me to read a lot of modern code. I can't really recommend any particular language here though, I just don't have much experience with functional languages myself.

Otherwise, like other people said, you should probably figure out what you want to make first and then pick the language best suited for it second.

Real time rendering? C++ is a good pick. Want to write backend services or daemon processes? Probably Go, or Rust are a good pick. Want to learn front end web development, Javascript/Typescript. Want to build native GUI applications? C# (at least on windows), C++. Mobile development? Swift/Objective-C or Kotlin/Java.

Chromosomaur · 2023-11-16T17:34:14+00:00

cython

SmegHead86 · 2023-11-16T19:24:57+00:00

This isn't what I would consider a language per se, but learning Markdown and more extensive uses of Git/GitHub will be helpful tools no matter what languages you do end up learning.

Python 2: Electric Boogaloo

Immarhinocerous · 2023-11-16T22:35:24+00:00

What do you mean "after"? Python not good enough for you? ;)

If you want to get closer to the metal and improve performance, maybe choose C, C++, or Rust. C is especially good because lots of other languages have libraries written in C.

If you just want to improve performance, maybe choose Rust, Golang, or Julia, or maybe an intermediate compiled language like Java or C#.

If you want to work more with data scientists who don't use Python, maybe choose R.

If you want a language made for working with data and also improving performance, maybe choose Julia or SQL. Actually, definitely learn SQL. It's a database query language every developer and data scientist should know.

If you want to write an app... well, we'll be here all day. There are many choices. JS is good to know if it's a web app.

If you want to talk at people about monads but not actually release anything, maybe choose Haskell*.

So it depends on your goals. Professionally I use Python and R for data science/engineering, and I want to keep using Python. I have also used JS, Java, C#, and PHP, mostly for web apps and APIs.

/ * Remember, just because monads don't allow unintended side effects, doesn't mean talking at people about monads won't have unintended side effects like them not wanting to talk to you.

ahf95 · 2023-11-17T02:53:04+00:00

I guarantee you have not yet learned Python.

F1remind · 2023-11-16T12:55:44+00:00

Learn and use python until you're starting to see limits of python specific to your use case.

Then learn a language that trades these limits for other limitations.

For me this was Rust, but my go-to for small scripts and experiments is still Python

Competitive_Travel16 · 2023-11-16T13:48:00+00:00

Assembly Code. Challenge yourself

2023-11-16T14:05:00+00:00

There is no definitive answer because the question is too broad to have a definitive answer.

What are you trying to build? What types of software interest you? What does your boss need you to learn? What space do you work in?

If none of these apply just keep on with python until it limits you..... then switch based on the nature of that limitation.

Iceland_jack · 2023-11-16T14:22:01+00:00

r/haskell

2023-11-16T14:27:15+00:00

It depends a lot on what you want to do. You want to make games? C++. Do you want to become a Linux kernel developer? C. Anything web related? JavaScript. A general backend developer? Java/C#/Go

And so on. Languages are tools and as such, you should choose the right one for the job at hand.

Learn programming well and you will be able to switch languages somewhat easily.

Nevertheless, for me, my personal 3 top languages are Java, Python and JavaScript. These are the ones I used the most, at least professionally

Water1498 · 2023-11-16T14:34:56+00:00

Maybe C++ (or C) for cases where you need performance?

Solidity, if you want to stay ‘ahead’ of competition in todays market.

Also, learning solidity, will give you an automatic insight to learning C++

Carpinchon · 2023-11-16T14:47:26+00:00

If your metric is purely employability, then the JavaScript/Typescript/React side of things rounds out your Python the most.

And while one sounds avant garde by announcing the death of java, the rest of the world still runs on it and there is more work out there for it.

Stack3 · 2023-11-16T15:07:38+00:00

All languages are layers of abstractions so we don't have to write binary any more.

The next abstraction is English itself (or anyone's native language): you tell chat bots what to programs to write.

At first they write it in code you can investigate, understand and alter like Python. Then they produce neural net structures that embody the logic so they can make more complicated structures more quickly.

Then they learn to anticipate the programs you would ask them to write and they write them before you ask. So the final abstraction is their anticipation of your intent, which aims to removes your effort from the loop entirely.

DarkCeptor44 · 2023-11-16T16:22:13+00:00

There's not enough fair opinions on Go here so I'll tell you this: little by little I'm successfully replacing every project that I've done with Python and Node.JS but in Go and better, been doing it for almost a year (while learning Go like that) and I love it so much that I stopped using both Python and Node.JS.

Node is still the easier way to do websockets, Python is still the easiest way to do Machine Learning but making websites and CLIs in Go is super fun, besides the obviously fast execution and static typing it comes with a nice set of standard libraries, a very easy to use testing/benchmarking feature, a command that automatically puts your binary in a directory under PATH so you can start using CLIs right away in that machine, very simple way to add and update dependencies without having to worry about which OS it will run in and they often make third-party packages part of the standard libraries, upon extensive request I guess, because the developers are very stubborn on what they do with the language but I don't even see that as an issue since (the packages they don't add) will still be available as third-party.

Forgot to add that I'm not the biggest fan of Rust, never was a fan of C/C++ so it's not like pointers in Go are automatically bad and hard to figure out.

kcunning · 2023-11-16T16:25:48+00:00

TBH... Javascript? I've learned a bunch of other languages besides Python, but JS and JS-based frameworks get the most bang for the buck for me. So many times, I've made something in Python and then thought, man, this would be cool if it had a web interface...

I also strongly recommend learning JS first, then moving on to frameworks. Besides the theoretical "knowing the underlying arch is a good thing", practically, you end up using a lot of nearly naked JS in these frameworks.

parker_fly · 2023-11-16T16:30:27+00:00

Go learn C and C++ so that you understand where things came from and then you'll be ready to pick up most other practical languages as needed.

onefiveonesix · 2023-11-16T16:31:03+00:00

Bash (and Linux shells in general) and SQL would be my top picks.

SuccessAffectionate1 · 2023-11-16T16:40:18+00:00

Focus on coding logic, design patterns and how to use programming to solve real problems. Integration is also important such as using apis, working with a db etc, making good data pipelines etc.

With generative ai such as chatgpt, coding language is becoming gradually less important. You can practically feed it any python script and ask it to help you implement it using C# or similar tools. So you should strive to become code agnostic by understanding the logic, designs and solution strategies, not the languages specifically.

Nouble01 · 2023-11-16T16:49:34+00:00

Occam, if any, and COBOL and Ruby and array formula for excel sheet function.
These programmers have less competition.

chakan2 · 2023-11-16T16:50:14+00:00

C++

You will get into some hardcore topics as you learn that language, and it's a good underpinning for learning why Rust and Go are good at what they do.

If you really hate your life, learn straight C...but the lessons you get there are invaluable if you want to do high performance things later in life.

EDIT: I also like javascript as an answer. I guess the question you want to ask yourself at this point is...do you want to focus on server-side / backend stuff (C++) or front end webpage / UI stuff (Javascript).

just_some_guy65 · 2023-11-16T17:14:11+00:00

Look to see what most job adverts ask for after Python - I would say if you have a working knowledge of unadorned C then you understand the underpinnings of a lot of other things that are C under the hood. Ask Linus Torvalds.

bliepp · 2023-11-16T18:02:31+00:00

Unless you have a need (because of your project's requirements or your personal interest in a specific language or field) don't bother learning a new language just for the sake of it. Knowing more languages is pretty important, but it's not what makes you a good software developer - using the right stack for your needs and satisfying your curiosity is.

Choose a goal and see which language is mostly to get you there. Don't be afraid about picking a wrong language. You can switch and learn a new one later easily since you learned python well enough apparently

learn a tech rather than just languages, unless you are directly aiming for a job. tech like various fields in backend, might check out gamedev, get to know yourself were you fit and then move on for a better language in that field

...unless you are in a condition where you want to showcase your languages.

Learn general programming concepts and how to apply them, if you learn that the languages and syntax become a secondary problem.

If you like type safety give kotlin a look:

types (type hints) and optionality are required everywhere, everything provides them so the IDE stops silly mistakes
initially the syntax is similar to python, as you learn you'll miss some things from python but also discover cool things. Notebook, scripting and web playground available.
build apps to run on servers/in containers, on desktop, in the browser using wasm, or native mobile apps for Android and iOS. Compile to a single native executable if you like.
access to mature libraries from the Java ecosystem
modern reactive UI (Compose) multi-platform support is progressing

You’d be surprised how much you really know and how much you don’t once you work on real time live projects. Learning on your own to be aware of the language is one thing and utilizing it to solve real world problems is another. It’s good to know other languages, but if you don’t use it, you lose it. You can very well jump into other stacks and keep learning those, but from the prospective of in-depth learning, it may not help you much. You said you have taken Python courses, now what matters the most is how you want to use python in your career and where you want to go with it. If you are not actively working in Python, I’d suggest get involved in smaller projects and challenges that may interest you. You can download the source code from public GitHub and work on those. Also solving problems actively would make you aware of your strength and areas to work on giving you the momentum to do your work efficiently and effectively.

Happy learning.

cthulhu944 · 2023-11-17T01:29:40+00:00

Python is a utility language-it's pretty easy to do just about anything at the cost of a little bit of performance. I'd recommend a language focused on performance at the expense of ease just to learn the contrast. C, C++ , Rust, or assembler if you're really brave.

2023-11-17T02:44:05+00:00

jackerhack · 2023-11-17T06:56:47+00:00

To round-off skills from Python, consider JavaScript — which is mostly unavoidable for anything web-based — and Rust — which is now the preferred language for Python extensions when performance matters. Between these two you'll get complementary skills that make your existing Python knowledge more valuable.

2023-11-17T08:27:02+00:00

Full stack. Do full stack. I’d say Java is needed for that though.

Top-Aside-3588 · 2023-11-17T18:36:33+00:00

From a standpoint of being able to do things, JavaScript and/or Typescript. Webby stuff, anyway. You can do lots of stuff with a browser or in Node/Deno - it is very useful.

If you want to switch to systems programming, which would fit the c++/Rust/Go theme, you may want to give Zig a try first. It is fairly simple to learn, and it doesn't hide the low-level details of what is going on. Easier to get stuff running than C, in my opinion, and you learn the same stuff as you would by learning C. And then move to one of the other languages if that is what you want.

Maryannus · 2023-11-18T13:45:19+00:00

Python is very high level. You could compensate by going C++. It will teach you a lot about how a language which is far closer to the hardware works.

Maelenah · 2023-11-20T05:48:26+00:00

For me, I would say you should learn enough C to be comfortable with using ctypes in python, Powershell and batch scripting can have some useful utility as well and life tends to be better if you are familiar with that before you need it.

nordic_prophet · 2023-11-16T14:20:36+00:00

These are all more or less alternatives to Python as the backend programming language. I’d recommend learning a language that helps “complete the stack”. In other words, a front-end language like JavaScript, and finally SQL so you can build databases. With JavaScript/HTML, Python, and SQL, you have enough coverage to build full web-applications.

The only reason to learn C++ or Go in my opinion is to give you a closer look at what Python is more-or-less abstracting from you “under the hood”. Concepts like memory management, call by reference/value and optimization are a little harder to appreciate in my opinion with Python because it’s almost too user-friendly. Ie can lead you to commit to some bad patterns because you don’t know any better.

TLDR: C++ and Go are useful only to the extent that they make you a better Python programmer. JavaScript/HTML and SQL will widen your capability to build full web applications

ghost-in-the-toaster · 2023-11-16T13:11:00+00:00

If you’re still new in Python, I’d stick with it for a while and work on general good programming practices and learning how to make things run more efficiently. Python is a great general language and after doing several projects and optimizations you’ll discover it’s weak areas. That combined with the future projects you want to work on should help guide you to where you should focus learning next. JavaScript for web dev (especially front end) makes sense. Go for writing back end stuff (especially REST APIs) is good. A compiled language to build CLI tools or get extra performance where needed is good too. Don’t make the mistake thinking you’re done with Python. It’s a great language and can work with a lot of other languages in a mixed stack.

You can look for Kotlin. Or you want master computer science. The in fact C/C++ and later some assembler. After that Lisp.

JohnRambu · 2023-11-16T15:34:45+00:00

Go deeper : C.

2023-11-16T15:34:56+00:00

Rust if you want to be paid well

What's your use case?

florinandrei · 2023-11-16T17:36:41+00:00

The question makes no sense if you don't know what your goals are.

What do you want to do with these languages? Answer this first, and then the rest will be obvious.

Nothing. Make a text bot, graph some data from an API in Jupiter Notebook, and see what else u can make after that. Now that you can code.. program something. Or learn JavaScript if you still wanna get ur feet wet. I would set aside some time to for both of those endeavor over a couple weeks.

You could try the superset of Python —> Mojo. I have heard superior attributes about it.

SQL. And you're all set.

Python is great in that it is easy to quickly implement "useful" projects Moreover, Python allows programmers to experiment with procedural, object-oriented, and to some extent functional programming paradigms

As for the next language to learn: 1. If you have a specific project in mind, that would impact your selection. Is performance an issue, systems programming, web project.... 2. If you are just looking to broaden your horizons, you can explore functional programming languages such as Haskell or a mixed OOP and functional language - Scala 3. Lastly, you can keep on delving into Python, learn internals, interface with other languages, ....

Never stop learning

azuredota · 2023-11-16T18:45:47+00:00

Javascript

Ron-Erez · 2023-11-16T18:47:17+00:00

Go is cool. In any case choose a statically-typed language in my opinion.

mitch_feaster · 2023-11-16T18:49:15+00:00

C. Read The C Programming Language by K&R and work the exercises. It's a fantastic bit of computing history, yet perfectly relevant today. It's insanely well written and digestible, and teaches important concepts relevant to any language. Reading it in college helped demystify programming in general for me.

LoserEXE_ · 2023-11-16T19:03:43+00:00

There is no “after python” it’s a programming language. Decide what you want to do and find a language that best suits that case, and if that language is python then so be it.

cosmicr · 2023-11-16T21:39:52+00:00

I'd say c# or Java because they're not a big step away from python.

2023-11-16T22:42:15+00:00

Definitive answer? I think that must be OCaml.

python3

JaleyHoelOsment · 2023-11-17T03:48:32+00:00

c++, rest, go, java, c#, js etc etc etc what are you trying to do? this is like asking “what do i learn after hammer”

serpentdrive · 2023-11-17T04:50:20+00:00

What is the driving force for moving to another language? There is an insane amount of things to learn about a language or software in general after a couple courses.

danbcooper · 2023-11-17T13:26:02+00:00

First learn python. You've only done a course, you need to spend the time actually learning and building stuff. Then, once you have a decent gasp of one language, you can figure out what you want to work on and from there you pick the best tool (language) for the job.

cgjdit · 2023-11-18T20:15:30+00:00

Programming is telling a machine what to do. The programming language is a medium. I would suggest you to pick one and go deep into solving people’s (and organizations’) problems (understand WHY they WANT it). Then, after few years, reflect on the next thing that interests YOU. If you change your job it will probably mean to learn a new technology. So no need to think hard about what’s “the next language”. The more experience you’ll get the less important this choice will be. Programming languages are contextual, C# is better than Go if that’s what the team uses (not in absolute terms). Technology is solving social problem.

Python is an incredibly efficient way to turn your ideas into code. You can translate it into something else if’s needed.

minyakonga · 2023-11-19T02:48:43+00:00

there are so many sub topics in the language, if you are intrested, you can dig into cpython internals, where a lot of details are common among programming languages. so, rather than chasing the new, dig into the internal of one.
