Hi! Are you thinking about this for creating an actual program for Windows? If so, be prepared to probably get Visual Studio... C# or C++. For web apps, you could learn HTML, PHP, JavaScript, Ruby-on-Rails... these are generally still considered scripting languages, or what are called dynamically typed languages. These have less hard rules... exceptions are thrown less, you are almost never compiling anything... post-processing is taking place.
C++ and C# are still the standard bearers. Upon closer inspection, you will find that most of Windows, Linux, and Mac OS themselves are written in this language. Long ago, the best programs were written in BASIC, but no one does that anymore. Many "Modern" apps for Windows 8/10 are being written with HTML5 and JavaScript, surprisingly. This might be why when I go to click on a list of pre-installed Modern apps, there is some cooking magazine instead of something useful. Good luck
