Right now it all seems like a chore. come up with something that sounds cool and fun to make, and then make it though javascript and c++ both excel at giving you tons of rope to accidentally hang yourself with, actually coding the poo poo is ultimately going to be a bit of a drag no matter what language you pick. instead think about it at a level or two up from that - how you're going to design and architect it, how you're going to divide up the functionality into pieces and connect them together personally, I have a lot of fun screwing around with retro console programming. it's self-contained and limited enough to help you avoid a lot of common problems with personal projects, like scope creep and dependency hell, and it's both complicated and highly interactive so even small amounts of progress are immediately satisfying and rewarding. and working in assembly is a good way of learning why basic computer science concepts matter, which to me is a lot more important than learning what they are
