I've ever understood these kind of questions. IMHO never learn a programming language just to learn it. Actually, I would go further and say don't even study for a CS degree. Programming has become more popular now a days, with designers, marketers, financial people and others learning to program in their domain languages. The barrier to programming is even getting thinner with the advent of low-code platforms.

Than being said, my advise is to study for a domain that interest you, for example I am a Control Engineer. Then learn the programming language of your domain.

In my domain the design language is Matlab/Simulink, then when I got into the job market I realized that my career would benefit by learning 61131 (PLC languages), C and C++. So I learnt that. Now I am very good with the Qt framework, for example, which allowed me to enter a broader market of industrial application development.

So stop looking for an language to learn and better look for a domain that will ensure that you will have a job in the future. Then learn the language of that domain.
