The only languages I've personally tried in the list are Python, Pascal, and Ada.
Python is fun until it's not.
I put many years into Pascal programming back in the early 90's. It was a sad day when Borland dropped it. Turbo Pascal was blazing fast.
Ada is used mostly for government and military work. I took a few x86 Assembler college courses while I was in the Marine Corps and the instructor gave me a copy of Ada 83 (he was a Grumman rep that wrote code for military aircraft). It was a damn hard language to use but extremely memory safe even back then due to the compiler finding errors instead of relying on runtime errors. I lost interest after Ada 95 was introduced. It sort of resembled Pascal as I remember it.
I briefly looked at Ruby on Rails when I was deciding back in the mid 2000's if I wanted to continue coding web sites for some side-hustle cash. I decided against it because there was not a bit of joy in it whatsoever. Staring at anything HTML related for long hours on end will cause dain bramage.
