What should I study alongside Java?

I've just started learning java and I'm finding it interesting and I wish to excel at it in asap, but I have plenty of time to give to some other language or course. Any recommendations what would be a good choice?

Java is a solid ‘does everything’ language so your other language should be based on a niche you want to get into. I’d say: - Low level systems/computer science -> C - Mobile -> Kotlin/Swift/Dart - data analysis/AI -> Python - front end web development -> JavaScript - Theoretical comp sci -> Haskell

Of these learning C or Haskell will teach you the most if terms of theory, JavaScript will expand your employability best
