What would be a good programming language to pair with Python?

Question

I just finished the main course for Python here on SoloLearn. I know that I still need to study and practice Python for a while yet before I move onto another language, but when that time comes what is a good language to pair with it? I would like to get a job as a programmer someday. I first got interested in programming because I thought it would be cool to build my own game someday, but I don't necessarily need to be building games when/if I get a real programming job.

Answer 1

Which area are you thinking off? For example for web development I would choose Javascript. For other areas it depends what you want to do.

Answer 2

How about C? Learning a low-level language can be useful in many ways: it will allow you to get familiar with many basic concepts that are usually hidden in high-level languages (like Python); a lot of languages were influenced by C, so it may be interesting and useful to see (and start appreciating more) the differences (and similarities) with your target language and it is going to be easier for you to learn other languages afterwards; a lot of important things are written in C (kernels, drivers, compilers, etc.); and finally as a young programmer you will for sure be more respected if you know C (or at least have some understanding of it).
I'm not saying that it is perfect (it's rather hard, unfriendly and unsafe in fact) or you will necessarily need it, but it may be worth some consideration.
