What are/is the best option/s for programing languages?
Specifically, i am interested in programing to do with video games, though i am aware that this career path (game dev) might not be realistic, so i was hoping for a language that can be used for coding games, but also has other uses, if such a language exists.

Most of the programming languages used in game development are also used elsewhere in a variety of different contexts. C# is common (in large part due to it being the primary language for the Unity game engine) and relatively beginner friendly. C++ is a more difficult language, but probably the most widely used in AAA game development. Other common languages include Python, Java, Javascript, and Rust, but really you can make games in just about every programming language.
Keep in mind when learning a programming language that its important to understand the underlying computer science concepts. Many of these fundamental concepts are the same across languages, so mastering them means you can easily change between languages.
