Well there's no one to rule them all, while C or C++ gives you more control of the intrinsic process of your machine reading your code, they are low level, with less predefined methods/functions in comparison with Java or C# (which is the same than Java but with a Microsoft flavour) or others.

I personally like scripting languages like JavaScript, PHP, Python... as they don't enforce you to a paradigm while keeping the ability to work with the full API.

I'm using full-stack JavaScript since some time ago and I like it a lot as I can code actions with few lines of code but of course, you need to acknowledge what's happening below, otherwise you'll get your things done without knowing if it's the best approach or truly understand what's going on to secure and catch possible bugs early.
