Java is my first choice.

C# is a close second. It depends on what the customer knows.

TypeScript third. But first for frontend.

Kotlin could have been on the list. It is a nice language but not worth the hassle (tied to one ide, extra configuration, examples that doesn't work etc).

I want to learn Clojure, and I'd be interested to try modern PHP again.

Every other language I will only recommend if people already use them and know them.

I have used Javascript, Python, Perl and VB (and used to prefer them over Java) but as I get older anf Java gets better I wouldn't waste my time on any of them except Perl, and only because I haven't used it in the last 15 years.
