Other couple ideas to consider if job ambitions aren’t a major thought:
Nim-lang / Mummy. Neat in being high level like python but compiled and can do low level stuff. Small ecosystem but good interoperability with c and Python. Can also compile to js. Target embedded to web, very flexible.
Also php. Some people say modern php looks more like java. Either way, lots faster than it used to be. Wildly productive language for web stuff. Laravel or Symfony frameworks.
I host kitchenowl (https://github.com/tombursch/kitchenowl) on a cheap server on the internet for grocery lists, which my household finds to be very intuitive. It also has the ability to pull recipes from an existing url or input recipes manually. I haven’t used the recipe functionality myself, but am inclined to start given I already use the app on a regular basis anyway.
I also experimented with / liked mealie (https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/), which is more explicitly a recipe manager and has a nice interface with tagging and different ways to find/organize. Also a self-hosted type services, so it requires a little know-how to get going, but it looks like that dev is launching a hosted version (https://recipinned.com/) at some point as well.
