#12On a somewhat related note, does anyone think it's a good idea to pick up Android programming at this stage?

#13C. I only know high level languages (JS, Ruby) but never delved into lower level ones. Not from lack of interest but rather lack of time. I'm going to change that this year.

#14Last year I've dabbled mostly with high level languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python... a bit of Clojure.
I guess it would be time to pick something like Rust or Go. But I still haven't decided which one to pick up first.

#15Dart
The language is pretty performant, nice to write and read, OOP, portable, strong typed, etc. Can be used for scripting, backends, etc.
With Flutter, you can get Android and iOS apps with the same codebase and near native performance. Downside is, not every functionality is supported, but it's getting better every week.
AngularDart gets you webfrontends without touching JS. Ok, it compiles Dart2JS because browsers are not supporting Dart (yet), but I don't have to write JS/TypeScript myself.
This will get even greater in a few years when Google releases Fuchsia aka Android-replacement.
Ok, there are downsides: - no WASM support - VM based for use outside of a mobile device/browser - lack of some libs/frameworks - not widely supported (like on the big 3 in the cloud or default install on top10 distros)

#16Embedded C++ (EC++)
I know, Bjarne Stroustrup seems to hate EC++ and claims it is dead, but tell that to game developers and the NASA Curiosity Mars Rover. You can't tell that to Opportunity, which does appear dead, but Embedded C++ is not to blame, just some dust storms on Mars.

#17You may be interested in the information in the 2018 developer survey on HackerRank. https://research.hackerrank.com/developer-skills/2019#skills
Scroll down a bit from the linked part of the page and you'll find the responses for languages for 2019.

#18I've been interested in Go for a while, but I never seem to find the time. I just started a new Python project last night.
Perfect time to pick up Go!

#19Trying to stick with C++, mainly because it's everywhere. But jeez, it's a really huge language with seemingly endless amount of stuffs to learn.
