Best Language for Game Programming?

Sup.

I'm a total newb at programming, but I want to learn how to make my own games and stuff. Maybe aplications too.

What programming language and/or software should I use?
What should I learn first?

Inb4 be patient. I know it takes time to learn this stuff.

Thanks guys, I hope you can help me.

Not OP, but I'm interested in this...
Can anyone give me some starting pointers where to go for resources about programming non-graphical games?
I'm learning C, currently preparing for my data structures and algorithms exam and this would be an interesting pastime.
