Which new language should I spend time mastering?

I can't decide which language to skill. I'm already good with PHP, MySQL, HTML and CSS. I can also write some Javascript. But I can't seem to decide whether to spend my time learning Swift, Ruby on Rails or AngularJS. Any suggestions?

It depends on what you're looking for. Right now it sounds like you have a pretty solid set of tools for web dev so maybe it'd be worth your time to learn a Javascript framework to stick in that field. If you're looking to learn something different then Swift would be a good place to start getting into mobile apps. Ruby and Rails (or Python) fills the same role as PHP likely does for you currently so that's more of a sidegrade than an upgrade. :)

Best of luck in whatever you choose!
