After first poll I dictated to leave C# and invest in another language. People suggested to learn python or Go for FAAN. Just to know: I'm networking engineer and want to be SRE or Production engineer. I tried python but I didn't find it interesting, I found go is more interesting but I don't know if it's good decision or not. Plesa help me. Thanks in advance.
Python
Thanks for your comment but can you explain more if you got time ?
Yeah it’s more Pythonic than Go
It depends entirely on the company. My old job was all puppet/chef and moved into terraform sort of. My new job is in love with chef but mostly Ruby. Don't get sucked into "there's one best language". I would rather hire someone who knew several languages and who would pick the best one than someone who templated out yaml files in go because they want to terraform something entirely inappropriate
Valid point, then what would you suggest? Because at the end of the day I need to learn languages to go to the interview? And It's hard to pick more than 2 languages at the same time. Thanks in advance.
If I had to pick one - python.
Python’s going to open up more opportunities for you, but you should learn Go as well, since that will likely be a better long-term investment.
Is it possible to pick up the 2 at the same time ? Keeping in mind that I'm learning C++,because I love it.
C++ is the abusive psycho girlfriend that all your friends tell you not to date. Nice gal at first, but definitely pushing you to commit suicide after a while.
Go is a really useful and powerful language under specific circumstances. Generally though, your skills with Python will be more transferable.
My vote is for Go. Python really gets wild as the footprint becomes large. Go was the top language devs wanted to learn in 2019. I am new to both languages and Python seems like black magic to me to some extent. Go is more powerful, efficient, and at the same time, simple!

C and C++? May I wrongly assume you are building the underlying network infrastructure, and not just writing config scripts
I'm still learning it, but some people told me that SREs don't use it and if I learned it I have to learn other one with C++ ! Is that correct?
If you know C++, people will trust that you can easily pick up other languages. Vice-versa is not always true.
