In my opinion, and many other individuals' opinions I gather, there really is no best programming language. It all comes down to what your goal is.
In the case of my personal bias; I think that Rust is the best programming language. My reason for this is it can do just about anything, it's very, very quick, and its eco-system has great foundations.
Now, objectively, someone else might say that C++ is the best programming language because of its staple in programming history, endless uses, speed, and more. Yes, I would agree with some of those points, but truthfully; every language has its caveats and it's up to us as programmers to pick and choose our tools wisely.
A bad workman blames his tools.
