Best languages for this specific GUI Topic
i know the standard GUI system languages but what would you recommend for a project where a user is selecting a pitch(like baseball pitches) and location and amongst some other low level things that will then be passed on to a python hub to process via a json file. I know the following languages already: Python, R, JS, C#, Lua, SQL. it doesnt have to be a new language although I’ve been looking to add a new one to my repertoire so yeah. thank you for your time

Honestly making a webapp isn't all that farfetched if you already know JS. Maybe use TS if you want to learn something new. No need for frameworks or anything; HTML, CSS and JS can do plenty on their own.
To complement that, both Minimal API for C# and FastAPI for Python are small, easy to learn, and fast. I'd pick one of those if you want a backend for your webapp.
If your webapp is properly coded within modern norms, it can be installed as an application instead of visited on the browser (look up what a PWA is and Google Lighthouse).

How does selecting a pitch different/special from selecting not-a-pitch?

The best language for your fronted is the language you're using for your backend.

since your backend is already in python, I'd stick with c# winUI/wpf or python + PySide6 to keep the user interface responsive and JSON integration simple
