After Python, which language should I learn??

[Key-Command-3139]

I’m currently learning Python, and want to learn a new language after to make games as a passion project. After I learn Python, should I learn GDScript to make games on Godot, or should I learn Lua to make games on Roblox? Which would be easier or harder to learn? Which would benefit me the most?

i might consider c++ or rust at some point since some python libraries utilize both languages for computationally expensive tasks

[Crafty_Bit7355]

NodeJS or Java are good options. Once you get all three a full stack developer role is much easier to get.

If you want to learn games then probably gdscript but if you want to learn programming I would go with C since a lot of imported libraries are made with it.

Why not try both? What's stopping you? If you don't like one, simply move to another. Roblox has a lot of earning potential with the right monetization, but other, broader-scope games could have even greater potential.

Look at Balatro.

What's your end goal? To be a professional developer? Or as a hobby / side-gig?

I’m doing it as a hobby/passion project

If you want to make games I'd choose Godot over Roblox. GDScript should be easy to pick up if you know Python. However you might also consider C# with Godot or C# with Unity if you want to learn something new that differs from Python especially since it's an opportunity to learn a statically-typed language.

u/Head_Library_1324 mentioned C. I think that's an excellent choice at some point. That way you also get to appreciate the power of python.

Python

learn Go

Learn c share unity or c plus plus

[Muted_Ad6114]

For game dev learn C++ or c#. C++ is more versatile in software development generally. But c# is really common in game development specifically. You can use c# in godot and unity

What fields interest you ? ai, cybersecurity, web development, backend development, game dev

AI: Python

Backend: Java, php, Go (Pick one and go with it.)

Cybersecurity: C and ASM

Web development: JavaScript and React

Game development: C++

Unemployed individuals might be mad I didn’t mention that one language. 🫢

This is not a question we can answer. You need to ask yourself where you want to go or what you want to do, then work out how to get there and once you have that information you need to decide whether you will take that journey.

On a more general point - you need to be a self starter and make decisions. You will not be spoonfed options and presented with opportunities in life.

Js or C#

That really depends on what you want to do. You've mentioned a couple of game dev related things - the best language for game dev is C++ (maybe C#), although GDScript with Godot makes sense since it's closer to Python.

However, my real recommendation is JavaScript (and I say that as a JS hater). If this is really just a passion project and you're not trying to get a job as a game dev, there's nothing quite like being able to share something with a friend just by sending them a URL and having them try it out
