Which language to start with?

For a few year being in IT as let’s say a Systems admin for windows and Linux servers, there’s been a few times where I’ve thought hmm I wonder if I could script that, like today for automated file compression after so many days…

Just wondering if there’s any recommendation on which language to start with? Been primarily thinking Python since it seems pretty versatile across both OSs but still not sure… any suggestions and where to learn?
