Some will tell you which language they think you should learn,

name a few in no particular order.

I would actually suggest you focus on a new language ... specifically an
object oriented one. OO concepts are tough for those who are used to
procedural languages, and the concepts (not necessarily the
implementation) are fairly portable.

I don't recommend focusing on a specific IBM i tool, as that knowledge
isn't necessarily portable to other environments (jobs, personal
projects, etc).

These days I've been focusing on PHP & Javascript ... which I can use on
IBM i and PC's. I'm also going to start dabbling in Node.
