I remember feeling massively overwhelmed about what I should learn once I have some fundamentals down. I wanted to know and understand everything but that is impossible, so where do you start?

I decided I'd start with things immediately useful to me, so regex, SQL, Autohotkey (due to the software I was forced to use), then MS Access/Excel/VBA (because where I work these are still present) and then XML tech too.

I have also learn python and JavaScript because these are everywhere too. The only "out there" thing I've learned is dart/flutter because it seemed the path of least resistance to cross platform gui.

That being said I want to learn lisp, APL, and lua just for fun but I learn way better using something.
