You would benefit from learning a language that expands your mind. Back in olden times I would recommend Lisp or Scheme. As much as I like them, those languages are largely antiques now. I suppose a real Python would be good. [VSCodeEDU.com](http://VSCodeEDU.com) has a real Python.

You could start learning JavaScript by switching from blocks to JavaScript and seeing which blocks become what code. I would also recommend looking at the GitHub accounts of people who make extensions to see what else they’re into.

You will know more than 95% of the makecode forum about coding

it depends on what you plan on doing. if you want to do more game dev i would recommend learning lua or javascript, if you want to program non-gamedev related things i would recommend python. if you want to program low-level things or just want to try a more advanced programming language i would recommend c/c++.

I have been recommended many times (by my dad, who does coding for a living) to do C#, Rust, some python, learn Git just as an extremely useful tool. There is more but those are the best to work with. Not mainly for making games though. I am currently learning python (in a logic coding capacity). One thing would be just learning lots of bits of languages, if you are considering careers in a coding field. I know that the more I learn, the easier it is to pick up a new language and understand it quickly.
