Preferred language for creating apps for PinePhone
#1
Hi all, I've ordered a BraveHeart and am looking forward to playing around with it.  I'd be interested in creating some simple apps for it and wanted to get people's opinions on what language people will probably use to create apps for the PinePhone.  Most of my programming is done in Python but I wonder if many people will consider Python to be too resource-intensive for a fairly small and low-spec machine like the PinePhone, perhaps going instead for something more minimalist like Lua or even C++ would be more appropriate.

What are people's thoughts on this?  If you are planning on creating apps for the PinePhone, what language would you likely use?  I know there will be the option to use different languages and that the most appropriate language will probably depend to an extent on the OS that is ultimately chosen, but I would like to hear if people think some languages are inherently better suited to the task than others.
