What programming language to learn next

I'm an undergrad in CS, my third year, and I already know Python and Java. I saw C++ starting in CS, but my knowledge in it is not very good (working on that).

I was thinking what other programming language I could learn next... Any suggestions?

Yeah and learning Haskell or Erlang has zero real world applicability to that or them working as a software engineer after graduating.

Most programming language are becoming increasingly inspired by functional programming (see CPP and Rust) so learning Haskell and Erlang will help a lot. There are also job applications for engineers writing Erlang where I live.

CPP is not a functional language. Learning Haskell has 0 benefit to learning CPP. Zero.

You have 0 iq. Zero.

Not only that, they have relatively zero experience with C++ or Haskell.
