Unfortunately, if you either don't have the time or don't want to spend the time configuring Emacs - the best I can recommend for you is to use a distribution. And I can see that you're already using the most VSCode distribution, Doom. I like Doom because it sticks fairly closely to Emacs' conventions (compared to Spacemacs), has a large user base, and enabling most features just involves uncommenting some lines. Doom also has a pretty good discord to join.
If you haven't seen this tutorial series, it goes over some of the features in Doom in a short videos. It might be out of data on some parts - given that /u/zaiste started this series 5 years ago.
If you want to build your own configuration from scratch Then maybe check out System Crafters (note that's like 12 hours of videos) on the idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74zOY-vgkyw&list=PLEoMzSkcN8oPH1au7H6B7bBJ4ZO7BXjSZ
To answer your actual querstion:
none of these are language specific but they build up Emacs to have the modern features of an IDE that I care about. Connecting up the languages to work with these packages is left as an exercise for the reader. Though they can look at my garbage pile of a config if they're really stuck.
