If you really want to learn another language specifically instead of something else, then getting well acquainted with bash and awk wouldn’t be wasted effort.

Especially awk, it's a DSL for quick text manipulation. Simpler than Perl and a better API than Python for that specific use case. It's essentially a filter that applies to a specific region identified by a regex.

Mojo has an interesting mix of things to investigate. Julia is also interesting things that make CUDA/GPU programming easier than Python or C++.

Agree for DS, Julia would be very valuable.

Do you feel comfortable with array based programming and using tensors? Even though it’s still python, really understanding numpy and torch, are basically learning new programming paradigms. And very relevant to DS/ML

JS/TS could be useful if you plan to do any front end work, even just for small demos of your DS/ML work.
