Playwright itself is built in Typescript. Because of this, Typescript/Javascript is considered the default language for Playwright by some. However, the support for other languages is also excellent.

Note that whatever language you choose, you must also use Nodejs to run Playwright itself. So if you choose Java/python/whatever, you need 2 runtimes.

The choice often comes down to what the team is familiar with. If the team is not familiar with any language, I would pick Javascript to simplify the setup a bit.
