I’m looking for a programming language that can help me build a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that’s not big but not small either. Additionally, I’d like to be able to build a website with the same language. I’ve been considering Ruby, Python, Golang and JavaScript. Python seems to be mainly used for scripting and ai, so I’m not sure if it’s the best fit. JavaScript has a lot of negative opinions surrounding it, while Ruby sounds interesting. Can anyone recommend a language that meets my requirements?

    Take a look at Dart+Flutter.

    Python would be OK. Ruby is nearly dead nowadays. JS itself is used rarely, better consider using TS (however I don’t recommend using them for anything other than web frontend). Go is a great language but it’s unpopular in GUI development.
