        PHP. It remains the only language which you can just FTP onto a server and have working. No need for package managers, docker instances, funky routing, or complicated frameworks.
Python for anything local. No waiting to compile. Vast library of useful features. Mostly sane syntax. And, again, most machines have it by default.
Drakon. Perfect if you want to visually sketch out an algorithm. Like Scratch, but for adults.

Drakon sounds interesting. This is the first I'm hearing about it, but my curiosity is piqued.
