Ha ha,
Dabble in them all. It depends what your motivation is: have fun, learn something, create a killer program, perform a specific task. Once you have basics (SB is great for that) then you see the limitations and why other languages are different, you will appreciate the additional complexities that give you more power and control. Mostly for LD extension I use Visual Studio with C#. At work its C#, C++ and Fortran! I recently played with Android studio and Kotlin for Android, and more recently VS Code with MonkeyC for Garmin devices. All similar but have their own quirks and fun to tinker with. All have a learning curve, but it gets shallower to more you do it.
Have fun!
