A lot of people who code seriously (whether as a job or as a hobby), end up hearing about other programming languages, getting interested and deciding to learn them (or at least about them).
What programming language(s) are you planning on learning next and why?

Currently, I'm learning Scala. At some point I want to get serious with Haskell and PureScript, but Rust has been on my radar for a while and I suspect there'll be more job opportunities with Rust in the near future, so that will probably be my choice.
I'm learning go - because these days I spend quite a lot of time working on backends, and increasingly more and more with things like Kubernetes. Lots of these things are written in go, and I think It's time to be able to understand their implementations :)
Potentially have a native Android app project coming up so Kotlin is in my sights at the moment.
I currently know the front-end languages - HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
I'm currently learning Rust, mostly because it seemed fun.
Rust is top of my list... though I’m not sure when I’ll find an excuse to get to it 😅
Yes, it's always a challenge to find the time to learn another language
Rust it is. Tho it's in my learning list for like 3 years, and here I am writing this comment xddd
I'm thinking about learning Rust. I like what I've read about it, I like that it supports functional programming, and I want to learn something not web related to expand my horizons.
Rust, I think is a very general-purpose language so it is not focused on web dev but a lot of things in rust like servers and wasm/webassembly webapps are very much related with the web.
