If having a VM/GC is acceptable then C# is the overall best language/framework today, meaning that it ranges from good to great in everything: Web, Game Dev, Desktop Dev, Mobile etc. Otherwise there's no general contender. With C#, these days you can go for unsafe code and dealing with native code in safer ways using new/ish features of the language: Span/Memory, refs, ref attributes etc. Or just use good old pointers directly and manage everything yourself.
