Hello guys, I'm having a hard time deciding on which new programming language to learn.

Though I am a (PHP) web developer based on the (*)AMP Stack and experienced with the Laravel framework and due to that, I have thought of basically 3 options namely;

MEAN/Javascript stack
Python (For Web) and
Java

I've been thinging closely on Python anyway due to it's clean coding style, high scalability and the fact there aren't too many Python developers out there (which kinda makes it unique) even though it's been old.

I know Java has been kind right from day one especially after looking at the TIOBE Index (https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) of programming languages growth. Java sticks to the top while Python is growing atleast above C#, .NET, Javascript and PHP drops down the ranking.

But like I said, I'm out for something unique, works well on the Web just like PHP and also General Purpose too just incase I need to do something outside the Web. And I also heard IoT and AI/ML are becoming techology for the future of which Python is well prepared for.

Your advice are needed please especially as it relates to job opportunities, wage and salary, learning curve, how fun it can be, etc...
