The thing with programming in general is that everyone will write code differently depending on how they look at the problem.

The best programming language is the one you are most familiar with. Yes you can write faster code in Ruby,Rust,Python etc but often times those languages hide soo much code, leaving you with a sparse understanding of the underlying concepts.

Language wars are not my forte but, I say use the language you are most comfortable with and become very good at using it. What takes you 30min in c++ may take me 5 min and vice versa. Happy coding!
