Which language?

Nim-lang. Python-esque style but compiled, having performance and high flexibility. Here's an image with some code in it (non-Godot) (Note: reading from text grid) and here's an example project (number converter) I made for 3.X (go to /src/ for actual code, main.nim and convert.nim).

Probably lends itself to gamedev (particularly highly tunable yet optional memory management, arc/orc likely what most want).

Note that this likely could have been guessed via this list as C# is obviously not it, Rust and Lua have 4.X bindings, so that only leaves 3 options in the production-ready category (and the other 2 are JS/TS).
