Elixir. Just be warned, one you learn it there's a good chance you'll never want to python again.

I have a track record of picking good pls:. I picked ruby (2003), Julia (2009), elixir (2015), and most recently zig (2019) and no others.

Some might argue that’s a track record of bad picks…

Makes me worried for Zig

I hear great things about Nim and also Zig. I'd say check what the market is like for those (ie supply and demand) and go wild!

There’s hardly any market for Zig and Nim though.

I’ve been playing around with Zig and could see myself getting into that niche if one develops.

elixir is a good option, if you're looking for commercial viability

The clojure which started the article your reply to seems very like the thing to check.
