What language(s) do you use?

I use typescript and python mostly but I'm open to anything

It's useful if you can help with all the initial installing and configuration that is boring and confusing. She can learn that part later.

I don't like languages where 1+"2" is not an error, so I guess I recommend Python. Python is easy to install, but downloading additional packages is not so obvious.

A "clone" of Stardew Valley looks like a nice project. I had to google it, it's a 2D pixel game, but I'm worry that each object needs too many verbs and she may fall into a OO trap.

What about a "clone" of Candy Crash?
