So i was considering to start learning laravel but after all the hate php gets, i'd like to ask for your opinions guys.
I recently started working on django for a college project and that made want to learn new stuff, so i'm hesitating between JS (plain Javascript, jquery, node, angular...), laravel, ruby on rails or anything that could help me both on frontend or backend.
Any opinion is welcome and most appreciated

    Think about what you might want to do with the tools available to the language.

    For example; if you want to go into Machine Learning 2 years from now, start using Python.

    If you see yourself writing code for games, learn one of the C family of languages.

    Ultimately, a lot of research is needed. Find out how the language is being used today, and make optimistic forecasts about the future direction of the language.

    Don't worry about the hate for a certain language. Languages, even 'hated' ones, are still around for a reason; most times, it's due to demands of the economic market (i.e ease of finding devs, time to train current staff, available tools, etc).

    Pick one, start creating!

    @saintograph as i'm currently studying for a network engineering degree, anything that can help with data processing, fast, easy and yet complex scripting like python provides is awesome. The learning curve is also important due to the many available options these days. But as you said it also depends on the market and what companies are looking for.
    I'm trying to learn as much as i can, who knows, a side language you learned just for fun could become a job opportunity.

    @iOReK0 its good to know some plain javascript before moving into vuejs.But it makes front end behavior so easy x) its a lightweight alternative to angular.

    @iOReK0 no problem man. These are good tutorials on vue and laravel:

    https://laracasts.com/series/...

    https://laracasts.com/series/...

    They're on laravel 5.3 so tutorial might be a little off with directory structure but the fundamentals are all the same. Let me know if I can help out with anything else.

    It's not really about listening to what others think, but more like taking in consideration what language is the best to work with and as you said easy to grasp giving the options and what i need
