Which langage is better for transition to MQL

I want to know which programming is better for transition into MQL 4 territory – VB, C# or C++?

I have a hobby for programming and I have some time and don’t know which language to choose with the goal to transition toward MQL?

Thanks in advance.

C++ is the closest but	//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //\| Mql4 is like C++ except: no typedefs or namespaces, no pointers \| //\| to POD, no operator(), operator*, or operator->, no implicit \| //\| conversions (operator bool), no templated classes, no Koenig \| //\| lookup, can't return references, no dynamic cast, no exceptions, \| //\| no class friends, no multiple inheritance. Can't use template \| //\| <class X...> must be template <typename x...>. f(const T&){} \| //\| f(123) or f( f2() ) doesn't compile (Build 765.) Must have a \| //\| actual variable. Structures must be passed by reference. \| //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
