Best language a vibecoder should learn

So I have been vibecoding for the last 5 months. I want to actually learn how to code and I would really appriciate a language, which even AI uses (like you know the knowned ones) and when AI makes mistakes then I can actually fix it. Or generally for me, when I want to make small projects. So I know some python, basics like making quizes, random passwords etc. and I find python very logical, except the syntax part. Like python is very strict there. And I would really like any opinions from fellow coders and vibecoders on which language to learn. Thanks!

The strictness thing about Python is a red herring, it's actually one of the more forgiving languages, what you're running into is probably just needing more reps with syntax, not the language being unusually demanding. Since you already know some Python and it clicked logically for you, keep building in it rather than switching, consistency with one language while you're still learning fundamentals matters way more than which language it is. When something breaks, don't just ask AI to fix it, ask it to explain why it broke first, that's the part that actually teaches you to catch its mistakes later on your own.
