What about learning Pawn direclty if you are only trying to get better at SourcePawn?

And what it is not easy to answer your question on what is the best language. Depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Im familiar with the basic concepts. I just want to focus on getting as good as possible in sourcepawn. Some people says that C is the way to go and that it will help me the most along the war. While some say C++. That is my im wondering which language i should spend my time reading and practicing. I will take a look at that link, thanks for the tip

Programming plugins in csgo is my primary focus if that helps

For creating SourceMod plugins need only SourcePawn, but if You need create plugin for MetaMod or extension for SourceMod then You need C++

You program SourcePawn plugins with SourcePawn, so you should learn SourcePawn

Seems like there is not a whole lot of guides on sourcepawn. Is there a better option to study or should i just go on what I can find? Perhaps someone know anything of a good guide

The best guide: read the code of the existing plugins and analyze them

Caveat: I would recommend looking at plugins using the new-style syntax, not the old style.
