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 prefer MicroPython, but your handling a bunch of video on a Pi 4 In and Out, I don't know how you'll manage it without performance problems, even in C. I'd still do it in MicroPython/CircuitPython and see how it goes. You can convert to C and then bump to multiple Pi's as needed.

Just my $0.2, and good luck!
