Where do I go from JavaScript
|
| C#
| What do you want to do? JS is useful in web development so HTML/CSS and ruby may be good directions to go in.
| Backend dev is also a good choice if you don't like HTML/css. Database, websocket, network and maybe some lower level.
I recommend CISCO if you want to learn about network.
| C++
Python
PHP
Perl
JavaScript has even a more rotten codebase than python.

Away from web development because it's the bottom most tier of programming.
| Away from web development. But if you're into it anyway, at least stay away from PHP.

>what's bad about php
The creator never inteded it to be a programming language. It's disgustingly inconsistent. It resulted in uncountable security holes. It never had a proper standard to begin with. It doesn't encourage any good programming habits. And last but not least, from personal experience I've seen heaps of first hand downright disgusting code. Literally websites with ONE .php file with everything embedded in it, html, css and PHP. Please consider an other lang.
| But I'd say any primarily functional language, such as Elm, Haskell, PureScript and most LISPs / Schemes are excellent for beginners. They'll teach you very good programming habits and are less likely to land you a webshit job you hate. Please consider these instead of PHP (I speak from experience).
| Hate on php? Considering most sites recommend it for L-A-M-P websites?

Furthermore, something being widely used does not necessarily equate it being good technology. PHP is so widely used because it's so stupidly easy to use, unlike a purely functional language which forces you to think about what you're actually writing.
