If you’re bored of Python go for a language that has very different paradigms.

Think C# / Java to learn about OOP

Scala to learn functional programming

Golang for concurrency and using the type system to handle exceptions.

Perl is very similar to Python so won’t teach you much.

All of the languages you listed are inside my category of boring (Java and C# ??).

I know functional programming from Haskell, OOP from C++ and for rest I use Python. These are the languages I would prefer for each paradigm but I also know Java and C.

I think that Perl is different from all the languages I listed and that's why I wanted to study it.
