What technology to take up next
Questions about what language, technology, or project one should take up next are off topic on Software Engineering.SE, as they can only attract subjective opinions for answers. There are too many individual factors behind the question to create answers that will have lasting value. You may be able to get help in The Whiteboard, our chat room.
There is a constant stream of new projects out there. Github claims 4,500 new projects a day back in 2011. On December 23, 2013, Github had 10 million repositories. Quite frankly, there are far too many projects for anyone to suggest a good answer. What's more, the projects of yesteryear may well be inactive now.
The same problem exists for suggesting languages and technologies - they are constantly changing. Further, many questions of this type often just ask "which one is best" without specifying any requirements, making them essentially a popularity poll. If you really do want a popularity poll, consider reading The Top Programming Languages: IEEE Spectrum’s 2014 Ranking which takes into account such things as Github active projects, Stack Overflow questions, Reddit questions, Hacker News, and job postings (see the 'custom' ranking for working with weightings).
A goal for Stack Exchange is to create a lasting repository of information. Asking questions about which technology to chose runs counter to that. In part because everyone's needs are different and also that everyone has their own favorites.
