I would go with Python today. It's versatile, many libraries support common needs. Great for scripting simple solutions.

Have coded in the following

- Pilot

- Basic, QBasic, Visual Basic, VB.Net, Lotus Script, VBA, VBScript

- Assembler

- C, C++, C#

- Cobol

- Go

- Power Builder

- Turbo Pascal, Delphi, Ada

- Java

- JavaScript, JScript

Have also barely touched Scala and Rust

Really every project depends on what you need but if forced to only ever use one language I'd go with Python and recommend it to new programmers as it has low barrier to entry for learning
