geometry-api-java
The Esri Geometry API for Java enables developers to write custom applications for analysis of spatial data. This API is used in the Esri GIS Tools for Hadoop and other 3rd-party data processing solutions. (by Esri)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What should be my go-to programming language for this scenario?
I programmed with graphical interface in the past in Java, too, which is definitely one of the top choices for me cause it gives the code a lot of structure and makes it easier to maintain and on top of that there exists a lot of community run libraries that might serve my purpose, like this one. I mostly have experience in designing games (SuperMario, Space Invaders and similar) with Java.

PostGIS – Spatial and Geographic Objects for PostgreSQL
It's good software (I've used it more than a decade), however I found GEOS to be a sticking point. When using it on very large polygons, e.g. 10k to 1 million vertices, memory leaks are not uncommon and performance drops off considerably. Debugging SQL -> C -> C++ is not fun and hacking C++ geometry code when it's not part of your normal work is nigh on impossible. I've found the ESRI geometry API for Java to be by far the best geometry API out there. Harder to use initially and obviously JVM specific but faster and more reliable. It's a very good fit for Hadoop / Spark or other JVM applications. Ignore the brand name, I'm not affiliated and it's FOSS with an Apache license.

PostGIS – Spatial and Geographic Objects for PostgreSQL
We (StatsBomb) make a bunch of stuff available at:
https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data
Interesting stuff from Metrica too:
https://github.com/metrica-sports/sample-data
There are other less legit sources that you may be able to work out for yourself. :)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing geometry-api-java and sample-data you can also consider the following projects:
open-data - Free football data from StatsBomb
geomesa - GeoMesa is a suite of tools for working with big geo-spatial data in a distributed fashion.
plpgsql_check - plpgsql_check is a linter tool (does source code static analyze) for the PostgreSQL language plpgsql (the native language for PostgreSQL store procedures).
