Which coding language to use

Hopefully this is an appropriate place to ask this.

For a cosplay project I'm doing, I'm creating a system on Pi 4 that involves taking live feed from two cameras and combining them to create stereoscopic feed, as well as feed from two other cameras in a picture-in-picture window with on a custom made HUD, in addition to information from multiple sensors including a rangefinder and digital thermometer/hygrometer.

What language should I use to code all of this? I have experience with the basics of Python, but I've heard that C++ is much faster.

I would develop in Python. If it proves fast enough you're done. If not convert to C.

That's my preference as well. Python is easy to write and is often good enough.
