Summary

Congratulations! You now have some solid skills using functions, types, modules, objects, and more. You also have a cognitive framework that you can use to learn new programming languages, and if you’re like my students, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how broadly your skills apply. Now you get the dessert menu. As your server, I recommend some tasty treats: languages that are superlative, unusual, or popular. Many are widely recognized as interesting or important, and some are just to my personal taste. Together, they offer a variety of jumping-off points, ranging from younger, less proven ideas to fashionable ideas drawn from the headlines.
