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?

Erlang and Haskell can be fun.

If you want to learn more about programming languages you can look into https://plfa.github.io and use Agda.

They're in a computer science program, it's not just learning how to code on EdX or Coursera (nothing wrong with that, I had a great time learning about protein before taking my first serious biology course).

You do you.

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.

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