@SW-User The world of general purpose is long gone. Everything comes with a purpose.
If you're trying to learn programming, then any object-oriented programming language will do. Keep in mind that there are statically-typed languages (C, C++, C#, Java) and dynamically-typed languages (Python, PHP, Ruby, Javascript....). The former is typically used to write to closed-loop environments, such as Windows, Apple iOS, etc. and the latter is typically used to write web-driven applications.
There are also some languages that produce compiled code and some that produce "scripts" that link to a runtime.
If these terms do not resonate, then you need to start out with a basic course on what all that means.
