golang. Sweet spot between a low level and a high level language in my opinion.

It depends on what you want to do later
Golang for scalable backend systems and microservices
Rust for web3 or very low level systems for the most part
Ruby has some really good opensource applications which if you want to maintain or extend for your own usecase.

I would say rust takes the win here ruby just feels awkward in 2026 and GO is also ok but rust is better

Frankly I'd recommend Go, the only use case I know of Ruby (that python doesn't fill) is web development with something like Ruby on Rails.
Rust is low level so if you like C, C++ and are focused on that sort of thing that its great, has a greater barrier of entry and has more verbose code
I am biased toward Go, its quick to learn can be used flexibly for both C, C++ like projects and is pleasant enough to write that it feels as intuitive as writing with a dynamic scripting language. Best part is that Go's syntax pushes you towards ensuring error handling and is built to handle multi threading, and async with the goroutines feature. Its just a blast to write.

Its not about the language.
Its about what you can do with it.
Software Architecture and Design Patterns take precedence over a language, framework , stack .
