I like Go, because it teaches you different approach and mindset in comparison to JS, Java, c++...

It's so boring to program in though. I wrote the backend for https://grepmed.com in golang. tbf it runs like a top; it's just dreadfully verbose. It's basically C but with a great standard library, concurrency primitives, gc, and package management. Somehow, it's still not as fun to program in as C is.

Programming in Lisp expanded my programming mindset more than any language I've programmed in. The ability to basically create bespoke DSLs for everything just blew my mind.

Kotlin. I'm frequently looking for and missing many of it's super handy extension functions when working in other languages.

I formulate it mostly this way "i like project <x> and I want to contribute. For that reason I have to learn language <y>".

Rust and JS. It's more about the ecosystem and developer tooling in my opinion.
