This is like asking for "what is the best music". Do you want to dance? Relax? Party? Feel Happy?
Programming languages have target audiences: people with a certain mindest and problems to solve. A Golang hacker will be disgusted by Haskell, and vice versa, yet both languages have merit and their own fan base, working in different domains.
That said, controversial opinion incoming: I think Zig is clearly better than C, but that is the only example I can think of.

Languages (really all big projects) absolutely need cultures, and in practice they all have one. Cultures is how humans cooperate, as shared values, idioms and concepts make it much more effective to do so.
