the top two (pyhton and javascript) are, imo, the best choices:
both have a lot of good free tooling available, large communities, lots of code examples & free courses
both run on just about anything, have lots of packages & decent package managers
python is very well structured, good for learning as it doesn't have a lot of strange behaviors
javascript is available in the browser - another place one can learn and make; it has a few more gotchas because of the history of the language
python will set you up for a career in data science or back-end dev, or systems / user-facing apps
javascript can set you up for back-end or front-end dev
I'd say try an intro course to both, and pick the one that you're having the most fun with. Come back to the other in a few months because learning a new language is good for expanding your general programming abilities.
