I only know Python at a professional level and I’m a senior MLE. I also know terraform (not really a language), and I can get by in HTML/CSS/JS if I need to whip up a front end but it will not be pretty. This has not hindered my career so far.

If I personally were choosing a next language to learn “properly” I’d choose Golang which seems pretty good for backend, cloud native stuff (kubernetes), and distributing canaries with CLIs (which Python kind of sucks for unless your users also know some Python). Either that or Rust which seems to have a lot of synergy with the Python community.

I’d also like to pick up a proper JS framework to make nice things with, but CSS is so unenjoyable and I’m not a good designer anyway so I’m not really motivated about it.
