Python or Ruby. Before Node.js, they were the dynamic language programmer's friend for doing back-end things.

If you're interested in front-end, definitely recommend Elm and/or ReScript. While Elm is front-end only, ReScript can be used for both UI and API.

Lua if you're super bored.

Thanks for your great advice. I'm never bored! :D

I've already heard good things about Elm, so I'll add that to my list, too!
