I would say Go (by Google), Kotlin (by JetBrains) and Ballerina (by WSO2) are 3 interesting programming languages to learn.
Go is a more general purpose programming language written from scratch and it is more towards C,C++ type of people.
Kotlin is the new face of Java DSL. It it 100% interoperable with Java and comes with some cool syntax and new features which are missing in even Java 9.
Ballerina is a programming language designed from scratch and heavily focusing on writing micro services and integrations in the enterprise world. It comes with a set of tools which allows users to write programs visually as well we textually.
