I picked those 3 because they have quite a bit of a community around each. If you are going to self learn, I thought it would be important to have a good amount of learning material both online and in book form to learn from.

The communities around Ruby, Python and Javascript are probably more oriented toward professionals than is ideal for a new programmer. While there is good content for beginners, there is also a mountain of mediocre and obsolescent content and another mountain of content that is only partially related, e.g. Rails, TensorFlow, React respectively.
