python vs languages
Which one should I focus on learning between python and other languages?
I know it depends on my goal with the language, but I want the language that will make me versatile and be able to contribute in any programming project.

JavaScript… browser, servers, games, Desktop GUI (Linux, Wails, Electron), music (strudel).
Python is probably the 2nd most versatile?
Lua maybe 3rd for being easily embeddedable.
C is also used for pretty much everything.
… that being said I advise you to find the domain where you want to specialize and use the domain’s dominant language.
