- modern PHP (version 8.x with some modern framework like Symfony)
- Typescript
- C#
- C++ (this one's always fun, I recommend the Qt framework since you have a Java background - it would be easier than raw C++)

Qt is an amazingly good C++ framework that encourages a much safer approach to using the language that emphasizes const refs over pointer insanity.
Also, the library function are quite powerful.
If you want something that feels more quirky, go with Lisp.
I've been having a lot of fun with scheme lately (specifically guile, but I don't think it matters much). It's a very stripped down language compared to common lisp, so I felt it was easier to get started with.
If you haven't done any Clojure, may be Elixir?
COBOL
A strangely effective option for young whippersnappers who want to maximize employability and income stream in “boring” tech. You’re not gonna be standing up many greenfield projects using that language - and likely speaking, you might go an entire career without ever touching a codebase younger than you are - but if your passions run towards Janitorial/Plumbing work with regards to code, it might be right up your alley.

I like Scala:
- multi-paradigm, you can explore many ways of doing something, within one codebase - arguably the most complex language, if you want, but doesn't have to be: start simply, later scales robustly
- compiles and interoperates with JS, JVM, native
- Scala3 dropped brackets - easily readable like python
- great tooling (recently) - compiler infers so much -> less puzzles / testing
- developed mainly in europe, not controlled by big-tech
Fwiw, here's my interactive climate system model running in pure scala.
