First only in browser, then Node ports it to back-end and React Native uses it for mobile. JavaScript is totally different from Java, even though they share part of the name. It is competing with R in this area, however Python is also popular in other areas, like Django for web development, or scripts for automation.ĬPython is the reference implementation, based on C. It is used in tools like numpy, pandas, Tensorflow, Pytorch/Caffe2, etc. Now Python is quickly gaining popularity due to the uprising of machine learning, or 'data science'. The Python 2 to Python 3 migration took too long, and it somehow hurt the adoption and its popularity, but finally Python 2 was deprecated in 2020. Python is a versatile and beginner friendly language. JVM is implemented in C++, and as of JDK 16, C++14 is used. Closure is another JVM language that you may have heard of.

Groovy is seen in Gradle, the build tool of Android. Scala's popularity is mostly because of Apache Spark.

Kotlin is challenging Java as another officially supported Android language. It is very popular in enterprises and also in mobile development, since it is the default language in Android. As you may find from the rest of this list, most of the other languages are at least partially implemented by either C or C++. However C/C++ is still the cornerstone of the programming language world. Rust has more complex syntax and semantics (and presumably higher readability costs) in return for the maximum possible performance low resources usage because it does not use garbage collectors enforces memory safety, the compiler requires the program to be written in a specific way.

Go was from Google, 'for companies who have outgrown languages like Ruby, Python, and Node.js (v8) and have lost patience with the high deployment costs of JVM based languages.' Newer languages like Go or Rust are trying to make it simpler for the programmer while achieving similar speed as C/C++. However you need to take care of more low level details, like memory management, so it is error prone. Here's my summary: C/C++ and System LanguagesĬ/C++ are lower level languages, sometime called system languages, they are best for operating systems, drivers, game engines, machine learning algorithm implementations, or wherever performance is critical. There's no single 'best' programming language, each one has its own use cases, and languages are popular or unpopular for some reasons. Most likely you will use more than one programming language through your career.
