What language is most often and best used fir game development, scripting, modding etc?

I'm trying to decide which language to learn in the most detail as I start my career in game development. I would prefer one which is most likely to be used in many areas of development from making a game from scratch to scripting mods for pre existing games.

C or C++ are most often used for game dev. For modding capabilities it's often good to use C++ to make the game more modular so it's easier to extend.

C# In the Unity game engine it is the only language to write good scripts

I think C++ is used for the most common open source game engines.

ok so thx I already made a start on c++ a while ago and wasn't sure whether to continue on it or switch to c# so it seems the majority say ++ so I will continue with that. any other suggestions much appreciated. I've also seen heavy use of JavaScript in some games which is one of the reasons I was unsure as I'm mixed between js, c++ and c#. I mostly have knowledge of python which I'm best at so I have recently been looking at pygame but obv it is terrible for making any proper game but nice to get started
