From QUORA: "There are multiple programming languages that you could focus your efforts on and it will depend on which cryptocurrency you would like to use as a base platform for plug and play functionality. It would also be important for you to consider what the top programming languages are in 2015/2016, published by IEEE, and TIOBE.

To establish a strong crypto programming foundation, I would suggest concentrating on first learning C++ by using a few beginner books (if you are on a tight budget, you can actually purchase many of these books from a nearby Goodwill or used book store for 1/20th of the price), and then begin to experiment with Node.JS, Python, Perl, and other relevant languages as these are typically compatible/accepted/supported in activate crypto environments."

What kind of apps? This will determine a most appropriate language together with availability and price of resources if you want to outsource, or steepness of learning curve if you want to learn it yourself. Performance-wise you cant beat C/C++ but you definitely dont want to write web services on it, you can do it way faster with Node/Java/etc.

There is Bitcoin libraries for almost every language.

In GitHub, the most used languages for Bitcoin is Javascript, Python and Java.

Python is easy to learn so you can use Python.
