The JVM languages (Scala, Java, Kotlin) usually have decent-quality libraries and tooling. The Rust community loves to pump out high-quality stuff. And well, a bit more unusual, but I would have high confidence in Haskell or OCaml libraries, too.

It's mainly JavaScript and Python where the whole ecosystem is built from the ground up with a "good enough for my script"-attitude. Oh, and C is out for manually managing memory.
