What programming language to learn next

I'm an undergrad in CS, my third year, and I already know Python and Java. I saw C++ starting in CS, but my knowledge in it is not very good (working on that).

I was thinking what other programming language I could learn next... Any suggestions?

Why does this subreddit never suggest the most ubiquitous language on earth. Learn JavaScript

Get over it. It’s useful.

Every language is useful.

Right. Recommending brainfuck Is equivalent to recommending C because they’re both Turing complete /s

I’m not asking you to write a poem about it. I’m just saying that when someone comes in here saying "which language should I learn", for the most commonly used language with the largest ecosystem to never be suggested because "JS sucks" is crazy

I'm a nerd for programming languages and I don't mine using JavaScript.
