Thanks for the answer. Do you know of an easy way to combine python and another language like C# or C++? Python and C are the only languages I barely know.

You can call python or c++ from c# using com interop bindings if you have some external library you want to consume from your c# app. I'd recommend learning c# over c++ because it's going to be more widely used except in niche use cases and it will be easier to go from knowing c# to learning c++ when you need too.

Honestly, most scripts I write for specific purposes just pipe one unix command to another. You can often process HTML/XML with grep/awk/sed and maybe xmllint/json_pp if the required filter is simple and local enough and hack something together. That is entirely improper but will do often enough. :/

I do the same thing for a lot of work but most of the time the scripts are system level glue tying together lots of already written functionality. I don't necessarily think of that stuff as an app though. To me an application is more monolithic than that and narrower in scope.
