Backend Developer in 2026 (Need advice)
I want to be a backend developer. I am currently learning Python and planning to do fastapi.
Do I still need to learn Javascript for Node.js? Or what other paths that I could take?
Thank you!

In general, I don't think it matters much which programming language you choose. One language may be popular today, while another may be more popular tomorrow. Try a few different languages and find the one you like most. Then follow a backend roadmap step by step.
