python is generally a very easy high-level language to work with + learn; i prefer it over javascript, but that's really just because i understand it better and enjoy working in it more personally. also it's not too difficult to do graphical stuff with it through tkinter, imo.
javascript's an alright language too. kaynato knows more about writing esolanguages than me, so i'd probably go with their suggestion on this. just, take the time to learn python when you get the chance! it's a joy to work in.
if you already know java and want to learn a language that can work more low-level, c++ won't be too hard to learn. java was designed to be easy for c++ users to learn, so the opposite's probably also true.
rust seems like a good language that can work lower-level too, though it's harder to learn than c++. it's a newer language, but it does some cool things with types (and it compiles extremely quickly in my experience). i'm just starting to learn rust, but mraof's a big fan of it; she rewrote sbnkalny in it recently!
