Best Programming Languages and Where to Learn them

List of top programming languages to learn.

Stack Overflow, one of the largest developer networks, polls hundreds of engineers each year on how they learn and work. Their yearly developer survey is a great resource for novice developers and those wishing to further their careers. Let's take a look at the most popular programming languages and make some educated guesses. What technologies, tools, and web frameworks will be popular in the next years?

Most Popular vs Top Paying:

JavaScript has been the most popular programming language to learn for the last ten years, but when it comes to the highest paying language, it does not even make the top ten.

Here is a complete list of the top programming, scripting, and markup languages.

As a result, this is the most widely spoken language. You might be shocked to learn that none of the following languages made the list of the highest-paying ones:

As you can see, learning some of the languages listed here, such as Perl or Ruby, may still be worthwhile. While they are unlikely to be the future, they are nonetheless in high demand and pay well.

What to learn:

We can simply create a list of languages to learn by examining all of this data. Of course, it all relies on your objectives, so let's go through them.

Web Development:

Web dev is divided into two parts:

  1. Frontend Development
  2. Backend Development

MERN Stack:

MERN Stack: MERN Stack is a Javascript Stack that is used to make full-stack web application deployment easier and faster. MERN Stack is made up of four technologies: MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. It is intended to make the development process more efficient and straightforward.

Each of these four strong technologies provides an end-to-end framework for developers to work in, and they all play an important role in the creation of online applications.

MEAN Stack:

Mean Stack refers to a set of JavaScript technologies (MongoDB, Express JS, Angular JS, and Node JS) used to create online apps. As a result, everything from the client to the server and from the server to the database is based on JavaScript. MEAN is a full-stack development toolset for creating quick and dependable online apps.

Mobile Development:

  • Swift
  • JavaScript
  • Objective-C
  • Java

Swift is a sophisticated and user-friendly programming language created by Apple. It is used to construct apps for iOS, macOS, and watchOS, among other platforms. Swift code is both succinct and expressive (easier to understand and write).

Java is a very capable general-purpose programming language. It is used to create desktop and mobile apps, as well as massive data processing and embedded devices. Oracle, the firm that owns Java, claims that Java is used on 3 billion devices globally, making it one of the most popular programming languages.

Game Development:

  • TypeScript
  • Unity

TypeScript allows you to write JavaScript the way you want. TypeScript is a typed JavaScript superset that compiles to plain JavaScript. TypeScript is a pure object-oriented language with classes, and interfaces, and is statically typed in the same way as C# and Java are. TypeScript is used to write the popular JavaScript framework Angular 2.0. Understanding TypeScript may help programmers develop object-oriented applications that can be compiled to JavaScript on both the server and client sides.

Unity: C# is the programming language used in Unity (pronounced C-sharp). All of the languages used by Unity are object-oriented scripting languages.

Systems Programming:

  • Go
  • Rust

Google's Go programming language is a High-Level, Strong (you can't modify the type of variables) and Statically (All variables must be declared at build time) typed, compiled language.

Rust was designed to provide the high-performance equivalent to C and C++, but prioritize code safety, which is the Achilles heel of the other two languages. Rust programming language is presently employed by well-known software giants such as Firefox, Dropbox, and Cloudflare, and many firms, from startups to huge enterprises, are adopting this technology in production.

Conclusion:

It is entirely up to you the programming language you study. This post can assist you in making a decision.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article. I hope you enjoy it.
