What programming language ruby, python og javascript? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm looking for a programming language that can help me build a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that's not big but not small either. Additionally, I'd like to be able to build a website with the same language. I've been considering Ruby, Python, Golang and JavaScript. Python seems to be mainly used for scripting and ai, so I'm not sure if it's the best fit. JavaScript has a lot of negative opinions surrounding it, while Ruby sounds interesting. Can anyone recommend a language that meets my requirements?

Python can do both scripts and desktop apps no problems

But what about websites.

It can do back ends with django and flask but the only choice for front ends is javascript or something like htmx

Yeah, I've been using Rust with Leptos and Axum for a website I've been working on. Works great tbh. I don't even know JS.
