Nope! The game! Though I think learning other programming languages through toy projects is useful, that’s a separate opinion

Do you have a favoured online site?

I play mostly on the Asian servers (Tygem and Fox Weiqi) because it is very fast to get games. For beginners and players ranked up to about 10kyu I recommend online-go.com! The Asian servers mentioned are also good for beginners, just not as easy to get into
