What app do you want to build?? Android, ios, something that will run on browser or on pc. You just choose a project and go at it.

Android - Kotlin

Ios - Swift

Browser - javascript

Pc/terminal app - go

First learn basics. I would say you go with go. It's fast, doesn't abstract much and is very easy to get started with. You can learn other when you have basics down.

Tldr;

learn GO, start a project you like

I like golang, but nearly all of the learning resources seem to assume that the reader already has a lot of prerequisite knowledge about programming. There are a few exceptions, none of which I found to be easy to follow. But learning programming isn't easy no matter what, so maybe that's not a big deal.
