If you have, that might give you a head start; I think all languages are equally strong and pretty well supported on the ESP.

I'm under the impression C++ (Arduino) is most commonly used, so you'll find a lot of examples and support for that one, though I could be wrong (since I'm a bit biased).

Just try them all out and see what platform suits you best.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
