Honestly, I have a few favourites and just use those.

Low level stuff, my go-to these days is Odin. Just super pleasant to use. Also super easy C-FFI, so it can interact with most code out there with a small amount of effort.

Web stuff, random scripts, utilities, etc... Ruby. For pretty much the same reason: it's pleasant and easy to use. Obviously easier than Odin because no need to manage memory and much higher level. It's FFI also allows you to interact with most languages (including Odin, in just a few lines of code).

Also, I should mention, I use stuff like JS, Java, C/C++ as needed. Sometimes there's a library you need, a platform where one of those is needed to glue it together, JS for web front end, etc...
