What language would you learn after Python?

[@SteliosBitzas]

c# and after c++

[@reold]

How are you able to guess the trends so fast? I was learning Rust after taking down Python. But really, how do you know the trends?

[@sidraines]

Rust, it's also voted the most likeable language on Stack Overflows most recent survey

[@ragilmalik]

Indian. Your python will get up if you can speak indian.

[@pyco374]

I have found your channel a few days back and subscribed after going through many of your videos. Can't believe such high quality knowledge available here. Thanks for your tremendous work

[@gianniprocida3332]

Me either . Definitely one of the best KZbin channels

[@ChaosArtist]

Glad to see you recommended Go. I started to learn this recently. I like that the syntax looks simple but there are differences to Python like it being a staticly typed language and the way it handles concurrency. Python is my main langauge. I will check out the Go section in programming expert, I actually purchased this course a few months back but I didn't do this section yet. Thanks for this video!

[@QuocDatPhung]

Hi Tim, I'm a subscriber and I remember following your channel since your first videos on Python! I want to say that I learned so much your clips as they are extremely valuable :)))) You inspired me to major in Computer Science (at Uottawa too! I'm taking CSI 3105 right now) and to also start my own channel, and I am wondering if you could make a video on teaching us how to grow our channels on KZbin as well. I would really appreciate your pieces of advice. Thanks again for everything.

[@ivannuzhyn4668]

Side camera view is nice, you became more and more advanced as a youtuber))) Thanks for video

[@64imma]

Thanks for the recommendations! I definitely want to learn Javascript and C++ just because it seems learning them can greatly expand the opportunities I would have over just knowing python. I'm also interested in Java.

[@DevlogBill]

Excellent Video, it gave me a perspective I hadn't considered before.

[@rachinter]

Just the information i needed 👌 thanks bro

[@shrimpoffthebarbie]

I would suggest after learning the basics with Python trying JavaScript. It's slightly esoteric in places but will make you think about coding in a different way. Closures work differently and the functional side of JS is much more pronounced. But also it's not just the language you use, it's the style that you use. I enjoyed learning about non mutating (pure if there are no side effects) functions and I now curry functions when I can. I would recommend learning Ramda. It's fascinating and will teach you functional programming if you haven't already been exposed to it.. But most of all learn what you enjoy rather that what the job market dictates you should. We can spot spot enthusiasm over $$ bums on seats a mile away.

[@jamestillman5247]

javascript is a hideous language and deserves to die a painful and quick death. someday when the world is ready

Tim, I know I am asking for a lot. But could you please make a similar video but for JavaScript? I am pretty sure many would appreciate this video. Plus, since you are very articulate, I am pretty sure it would be an excellent video to watch, thanks Tim.

[@lonelybird2008]

Thank you this really helped a lot I was Learning python for about one month and still was using only python for about 1-2 years while I was trying to learn C, C# Ruby Node But None of them really worked out for me so thank you for this video

[@allsdani]

I started with Python and moved into Rust (for reasons someone might learn C++). Rust seems to be a Big Thing(tm), but it seems like tweaking existing applications may require me to drop rust and just go with C++. There's a billion codebases for lots of cool stuff in C++, but not so much in Rust, I've found.

[@dakoderii4221]

I'm going for JavaScript and CSS after Python. Then might learn a little about a lower level language like C or C++, just for the sake of understanding more about what's happening "under the hood".

[@RobertRoman]

Good combo!

[@isyraqfirdaus5322]

html too ofc

[@jathebest2835]

CS50 course - C language will help you to understand the basic stuff about what's going on "under the hood" :)

[@vinicus508]

I went to C after Python. I must say, its waaay harder lol. But I feel like Python served its purpose of introducing me to programming, made me like it. Now C has the job to show me everything else from the basics of programming. I feel like after learning C I will have what it takes to learn with ease most other programming languages. (I say C but my goal is to learn C++ alongside with C, but I started with C only cus I wanna get the basics first)

[@kietero]

C is a language where you pretty much have no choice but to jump into computer science just to print out "Hello world" onto a console/terminal. C is good to jump into after Python if you wanna go completely hardcore. I recommend it for those serious about wanting to get into programming.

I started with Pascal in 96, then C++, then Java near 2000, then I went from Brazil to England and started working in Continuous Integration with Anthill and Maven, and back to Brazil in 2006 I left programming with exception of some automation that I used Java + Selenium Web driver. After many years without full programming I got back wanting to learn AI training and inference and related stuff, and I started learning Python, so I was a bit backwards comparing to most people. It was a bit strange to not been able to infer types and code completion was always weak but I think I'm starting to get used to it. Haven't finished the video but I think Java, Java script, or Type Script are good language alternatives to learn after Python.

[@danielj.rodriguez8621]

I learning SQL to be a particularly good complement to Python for DS-ML workflows. In particular, SQLite integrates very well with embedded applications.

[@KUBKO17]

Great video. I see lot of people mentioning Rust. But where the Rust sits based on your assessment? Is it replacement for c++?

[@joaomachado9105]

for purely job offers, at least in Portugal, Java is highly requested too (Java Spring to be more specific)

[@Anonymous-dk7ek]

Thanks Tim

[@Icelander00]

Thanks

[@kietero]

Mine would be... Similar to Python: Swift - much similar syntax and more widely used than Go. Limited cross-platform capabilities but higher-end Mac and iPhone-targeted software is still very profitable and in demand. Different from Python: C# - Can get the C-environment experience without having to dive into computer science to decipher it. Complementary: There's only one choice - JS.

[@humanxoxo4]

It really depends on what youre goal is, I'm aiming for cybersecurity and artificial intellegence so it suits with my Python, after that I'll need to master atleast Linux before a 2nd language.

[@kingson91]

Same as here, i want to learn python as i am studying in cyber security. Can you please recommend other programming language to learn after python? Thanks

[@kates5684]

thank u)))

[@TheScissorunner]

Your production quality is killing it! You're ever improving your game! Top shelf work!

[@RA-xx4mz]

Ruby on Rails was my first web framework. Very fast to build web apps. I recommend Golang because: 1) it’s statically typed, 2) Golang isn’t everywhere like NodeJS/Typescript yet, so it’s probably good to get ahead of the curve. 3) Golang is really barebones and makes you learn the mechanics of some of the stuff that Rails/Django and other frameworks does for you with a simple command. It’s a good next step that increases the depth of your knowledge after learning a dynamically typed, ready-to-go language/framework.

[@JG-kn7ew]

Hey I appreciate the advice! :) was hoping the comments section would help me out

[@badrekb5175]

i thought you gonna recommend go,Rust, and js . tim we need some update on the project your working on

[@grayfaux_]

This video pretty much hits the nail on the head. If you know python and you want to go full stack javascript will get you there. So will Django or flask. C++ on the other hand will make you a better developer I'm almost every way as Tim said and you would have a statically typed language to you cv.

[@luisfcocontreras]

I am stuying in programming expert and I love it🔥🔥👌👌👌

[@moo_goo]

trying to pick up rust right now myself. i love python dearly, but the limitations I run across are purely on a speed and optimization level. I went from scripting to build architecture for software in python and found myself integrating typing to help with documentation to be explicit for others whats going on and what to expect. I also picked up ruff for lining and such. and polars instead of pandas for large data. Rust seems to be tickling that desire of speed while still being close enough to python, and I can cleanly integrate rust into python. I am hoping to learn enough rust to convert popular python libraries to be faster via a rust version.

[@aafrophonee]

I learned C and C++ before Python because they were used a lot in my field, although nowadays Python is used way more. Maybe I should brush up on C/C++, it's been several years since I've coded anything in those languages

[@stephanrhodes4227]

Me too but started with C++ and then C and Java. It is funny although I am using a lot of javascript nowsdays, I am still prefer Java since I can use it in complementary with Scala for functional programming. C# would have been better but it is not cross platform, I still recommend it before jumping into java. C# is easier to read, but Java have better security features

Java in many circles is considered a dying language. You may find work in Java now because of large corporate legacy code bases. However, most new companies or startups are not choosing Java. If you are ok with learning Java I would recommend C++ as its an industry standard for performance constrained software and syntax is similar to Java. Cheers

Excellent video and the choices make sense. In the future Go, Rust and Elixir will likely take over many things. Both C++ and C are going to be around as well. Maybe something will replace JavaScript one day but it isn't here yet...well perhaps TypeScript but will Web Assembly take over? Zig seems like a promising language as well.

[@steprato1853]

i would swap c++ with rust its performance are very similar and most important it's memory safe

[@encapsulatio]

I would recommend Nim in place of Go and C++. For most cases you get close in terms of Python productivity in Nim while having C++ performance. You get incredible C++ and C interop. Nim also uses Python syntax but there is where the similarity with Python ends. Second programming language I recommend is Rust because you simply can not have memory safe by default programming environment in any programming language to the degree you have in Rust. There are some experimental programming languages that show some promise to be better than Rust but for now you simply can no get the same kind of features and ecosystem as you can find in Rust. There is a reason why Rust is being seriously considered to be promising enough to be included officially as a first class programming language in the Linux Kernel for drivers development. If Linus was able to be finally convinced that just shows the promise of the language. Rust still has to develop some of it's infrastructure to be more compatible with Linux kernel development but there is good amount of work being done in that direction. I also don't see much need for learning Javascript as you recommend in the video, Python, Nim and also Rust have answers for fronted development without needing to touch Javascript...unless your looking for jobs..then Javascript and C++ or Go are better languages to learn because you find significantly more jobs....otherwise Python, Nim and Rust will be able to achieve anything you could dream of if you're just developing your own fullstack high performant app.

[@raianmr2843]

In terms of ease of development and developer velocity: any mainstream high-level lang should be fine. My personal recommendation is Python and (Node) JS. If you want to do interesting things like embedding databases into your programs, compiled langs like Go and C++ (or Rust if you're an early adopter) are the way to go.

[@only4christ]

What about Rust is it simple and cool for a futuristic junior developer😀

[@dmytrogalakhov5366]

What do you think about RUST?

[@xenophone2006]

I think the next language you learn is dependent on what you want to do. Go and JS are great if you want to go into Web Development, but not so much if you want to go into Data Analysis/Science. For that area, going into R would be your best bet along with SQL. I've read that Julia is an up and comer for those in the hard sciences (chemistry, etc). Everyone has their niche, and every niche has their own preferred language...so your best bet is to do some research in those areas and find the languages they use.

Java is definitely a language I'm interested in learning along with C++. I've dabbled in java a little, but was scared away by the intimidating code needed to print hello world. Plus I figure I better focus on learning python first, and not get too distracted learning a bunch of languages at the same time. I'm probably at an intermediate python level, hopefully starting to get into more advanced topics soon. The knowledge I have recently acquired with python is actually helping me to understand what's going on with that beginner Java code I had encountered.

I would say no unless you have a course or a job that requires C. one thing to be careful of when learning new languages is that you shouldn't just pick a bunch or window shop. If you learn one language that you are willing to invest time into and be really good at it, a lot of the fundamentals transfer to learning other languages. If you are already planning on learning C++, you should just go with that. However, C is actually a pretty simple language in terms of syntax so you can actually give it a try if you want. But lots of C stuff are basically covered by C++. hope this helpers
