If you are interested in more low-level programming with manual memory management I would like to throw Zig (https://ziglang.org) into the mix. A while back I started trying to learn it after using Go almost exclusively for the last couple of years and I like it a lot. It has some modern concepts similar to Go (like defer) that just makes it nice to write. Just be aware that Zig is in early stages of development so documentation and stability can be rough at times.
Fair enough! I’d personally recommend Godot, because it’s FOSS, has a really nice way of doing things (in my opinion), and a language that’s similar enough to Go that when I was first learning Go I’d frequently use terms from GDScript! It’s the kind of think you can learn in a few hours. Give it a shot if you’re just getting into dev!
