The best coding language is the one you're comfortable with, and what kind of games you want to create.

If you want to create 3D games, you can use Unity which uses the C# language and performs well and can be used for a variety of games.

Unreal Engine 4 or 5 are also good for developing games however their games tend to be much larger in file size due to them importing a lot of assets in whenever you use someone elses assets for your software.

Godot is also a very good option which can be programmed using GDScript, which is very much like python and easy to use and learn, or C++. You can create 2D and 3D games using this and the newest version, 4.0, will create beautiful games.

Other languages have their own libraries but these are the main ones I'd recommend. If you are a fan of Python, look into using Pygame as it's very good for 2D applications.

For game development?.I asked chat gpt about it and it says python's syntax is easy to read making it beginner friendly plus C# is also a good choice but if you want to make 3d games c++ and c# is perfect for you because python is mostly 2d games

Btw python is the worst at creating games but you'll get used to it
