what should i learn after scratch?
The question is what do you want to do next? What type of project do you want to make? There is no right answer of what kind of programming language you should learn.

what should i learn after scratch?
idk what i want to do That depends entirely on what you want to do.
haven't decided
maybe i need a generic language? python is TOO easy
Java/javascript/HTML is fun if you like Website making
EDIT: C/C+ are both fun for text based games

Browsers dropped support for Java years ago; meanwhile, JavaScript continues to be regularly used on the web and gets faster and more features all the time.
Java is primarily used for app development (notably Minecraft Java Edition uses it), and all (native) Android apps are programmed in Java.

Lua is more similar to python than JS btw. Lua is rather similar to JS, and has more beginner-friendly features:as opposed toif foo then ... endand 1-indexed tables.if (foo) { ... }
It's also very fast thanks to LuaJIT, and supports more complex stuff for experts (metatables)
Edit: Not to mention PICO-8, which is a pretty good step up from scratch, uses Lua for scripting.
Anyways to help to the entire topic I'll list out some programming languages I believe are best to know and their uses (most likely repeated of what others said but just compiled into one post)
Javascript/HTML & CSS
JS can be used by itself as in you can learn JavaScript and make websites with just it (technically). You can edit and create elements in HTML/CSS using JS fairly easily once you understand it. Now for optimal usage you will want to pair it with HTML and CSS both which are impossibly easy to learn and the only real learning factor is just remembering different types of elements and how to properly style them / nest them.
Python
Python is a fairly universal language but for obvious reasons cannot be used to make websites nor really anything with actual graphics by itself. Now with the help of libraries you can but learning how to use a library is nearly as hard as learning an entirely new language especially if it's a massive library with tons of uses. I do not know of any library for website making as that would be wildly inefficient unless we are talking about backend web development in which case python is a major language for that. As for game making, the best library I could find is PyGame. Fairly big library but has pretty decent documents for getting people started. I myself never really got into game making with python as website game development is much better if you aren't using something like Unity (which python isn't widely accepted with unity).
Lua
Lua by itself is not very useful as it is basically just an addition to C. Nevertheless there are many major game creating software's and games themselves that use Lua. Such as Roblox. Roblox studio uses Lua. Another is Unity. Lua and C are the 2 main programming languages in Unity. Other than that I don't have much info on Lua as I rarely use it but I still know enough to provide some info.
Please if any of this information is incorrect or irrelevant someone tell me. Other than that hope this helps out!

(#26)You can use python as a web server via django or flask.

With the languages everyone have introduced here, why not learn all of them and become a polyglot programmer? It doesn't hurt being able to code in multiple languages.
Hi! This is an alt of my main account.
I'm “back” from a 10-month hiatus.
I forgot the ways of the forums, so I might be wrong.

I don't think that's a problem – you don't have to be perfect at one language before you start learning another.It takes a With the languages everyone have introduced here, why not learn all of them and become a polyglot programmer?

Yes, but it will take a long time to learn all of the ones mentioned here, and it's probably not best to be actively learning multiple languages at the same time, because you might confuse things like syntax and built-in APIs.I don't think that's a problem – you don't have to be perfect at one language before you start learning another.It takes a With the languages everyone have introduced here, why not learn all of them and become a polyglot programmer?

(#28)Easily the best solution here. If you know every programming language, just write polyglot code!

Aside from the structure (which I intentionally made to be equal), you couldn't confuse one with another, even if I didn't tell which language the codes are written in.

I think I may have seasoned my posts a bit too much.
Also, my posts are getting lengthy lately. Whoops.

If you ever want to learn any programming language ou can do it the project based way.
Like if you want to learn math, UI and inputs then you can make a calculator app in a language that you want to learn. Then you can get bore advanced from there and add more stuff to that calculator app like history, scientific calculations and more (this is basically how i learned how to do HTML + CSS)
