Python is best if you are starting as that's easiest to learn and has the fewest writing character base.
There are lots of libraries available, and plenty of information on github, but if you want to develop something that works as a windows application, then nothing better than pure C# not sure there is a dirty version lol.
Its difficult to say if you will or will not get banned, it depends on if you are using the correct API's or if they are HTTP requests, then you might be limited.

I'm familiar with web scrapping using python (seleniun) but everytime I decide to code a "twitter commenting bot" i stop midway and decide it's not worth it it will only get the account banned. Do you think it's worth it ?

Why not make a test account and try it on the test account?

No, I would look for processes that you can do manually, not build tools that you think people will use to run their processes (that ultimately you haven't even tested manually) and make money from, or save time.
Go run around the net for a couple of weeks and test plenty of research things, like what clicks lead to where, what selling, who is selling it, what else they do, and in the end, what YOU CAN do in terms of achievement and completion to build your digital asset portfolio. Then make a good plan of what you are building and build an MVP project if you can, if not, start of with some simple things. Till you find a good MVP project that is full time 6 months to get working. As that's out of the league for most people who aren't experienced, so you can make massive progress in a niche with that amount of work directed correctly.
If you are a custom bot programmer selling software, you should have a website portfolio page with technologies you know and roughly what you built.
I actually make few bucks leading twitter traffic to my blog. But the process was so irritating (commenting on fresh tweets and liking comments of other tweets) and it needed consistency otherways i'll strat loosing followers instead of gaining em. That's why I thought about making a twitter bot to like tweets and comment on fresh tweets.
Because simply you can't use a bot on a fresh account, fresh accounts face cooldowns and captchas that need to be taken care of manually. I'm just feeling lazy to create a new gmail and twitter account spending 2 days to get it going then spending another day coding the script and probably 4 more days debugging as it will surely crash on multiple cases and i'll have to keep testing and handling the exceptions.
I just don't know if it's worth it.

C# an a webview makes automating browser interactions very simple for a beginner. As stated previously, chatgpt is a great coding partner.

Most recently I released Servya which has a C# / php backend but uses a bunch of different languages and technologies in total.
*edit*: I have worked on and released more than these but these are the ones that had any sort of presence on here, that I can think of.
The language of an app isn't really important so long as it works as intended. Most modern languages can be used for pretty much any project if you plan it out right. I like C# for how quickly you can get a prototype up and running, it is also so easy to make reliable.
If I am building out some sort of web based service I tend to prefer PHP for much the same reasons, the syntax is easy to understand and prototyping can be quick as well. PHP is great for quick coding jobs.
Ultimately, for doing anything beyond a Hellow World app you will likely be using multiple technologies so it is always good to mix up what you are using and to have a play around with stuff.
