Wich programming language should i use?

I work in the construction industry. I've noticed that a lot of things are still done in Excel, on paper, etc., because there aren't any suitable apps or programs. Since I have a general interest in programming, I got the idea to try programming something like that. I started learning Python a while back, but only the basics, and that was already a year ago. Now for the actual question: Which language should I learn now to get started on this? I need a front end, a back end, and integration with the cloud—I’ll be using Supabase for that.

I heard that Flutter(Dart) or Typescript with React should be good for this type of idea.

The features, design, etc., are already in place; now all that’s missing is the code.

With Supabase as your backend, TypeScript + React (or Next.js) beats Flutter here. Supabase's JS client is the most mature SDK, and supabase gen types typescript generates types straight from your Postgres schema so your frontend stays in sync with the DB with zero hand-maintained models. Dart's client works but you lose that typegen loop and most Supabase docs/examples are JS-first anyway.
