PHP now stands for PHP Has Pipe
i hate operators i like languages with 0 operators just functions and special forms

He's a webdev cloud shill and should be disregarded.
I have my own biases and particular knowledge (don't really like programming webshits) so, with that said, in your position, I would first dive into SQL. SQL is in itself incredibly useful for all kinds of things and the overall relational database concepts you'll learn apply even outside of the SQL context, as with pandas
DataFrames. I used the 2nd edition of Learning SQL from O'Reilly quite a few years ago, and there is a 3rd edition, but Practical SQL from No Starch Press (now in its 2nd edition) looks very promising too. Either of these two books will train you on a SQL implementation more fully featured than SQLite, which is pretty stripped down. The former uses MySQL and the latter uses the somewhat heavier PostgreSQL, but as long as you have basic command line knowledge you can set up either without any real difficulty. Also you wouldn't have to read either in its entirety. I would say up to chapter 9 or 10 is adequate for Learning SQL and up to at least chapter 9 in Practical SQL after which you can pick and choose certain topics. (I would definitely learn subqueries, dates and times, and text formatting and matching). Then, when you use SQLite, which has simpler administration and a reduced set of features, it'll be like you're a Roman soldier who trained with a wooden sword heavier than the real thing.
Read The Fine Manual. https://www.sqlite.org/docs.html
That's equally true of the more full-featured SQL implementations and the learning resources for them, or at least based on them, are so much more abundant. At worst you would need a VM or cheap VPS to insulate your main battle station from your experiments.
wheres the blazingly fast memory safe rust and why didnt you specify that a $4000 macbook is being used to do this
I know you're jesting but TheEvilSkeleton is two or three marks off from what you're describing. Maybe in a few years he'll tick all those boxes... Hopefully not.
At least ze's honest
Use the docs and automate some stuff or do some number crunching, whatever it is that has you interested to begin with. The No Starch Press books tend to be more accessible, in my opinion, but they gloss over a lot of the finer details to focus on getting results so it's more engaging. They're also easy to pirate, so try before you buy.
incredibly based, c++ is gay
your computer
python at your terminal (if you don't have a terminal that you can type python at, what are you even doing here? ok, you could use python's idle editor if you want) and start fucking aroundauehfhuiad.py and use it to do whatever
