What programming language should I learn in 2019?
I remember my first college classes, the questions that were always in conversation in the classroom
were. "What is the best programming language?" or "Which one will be in 'fashion' when we graduate?"
As 2019 begins, this is a good time to reflect on our top learning priorities this year. Before I start
talking about programming languages, let me clarify:
I am not arguing that one language is better than any other and I believe that developers should eventually
learn more than one language and should always be up to date on new technologies called "trendy".
1. Python
Python has been a booming programming language on the market and shows no signs of disappearing. We
can see their use in web applications, desktop applications, network servers, machine learning, media tools, and more.
You may find Python useful for backend services and APIs, whether you are working on security or site
reliability engineering. Python-based web development frameworks such as Django, Pyramid and Turbo Gear find more and more
popularity.
In the end, it is a good choice for novice developers to learn Python as it is top notch and easy to
read and understand. See Python statistics according to the PYPL site.
2. JavaScript
JavaScript is the most popular language according to Stack OverFlow. More than half of all developers
use JavaScript. It is vital for frontend development and increasingly relevant for backend development. And it is expanding
rapidly in areas such as game development and the IOT. JavaScript statistics according to the Stack OverFlow search for 2018.
JavaScript allows you to build interactive websites, and it's an essential web tool technology, along
with HTML and CSS, and because most browsers somehow implement JavaScript. It's crucial to get into web development and learn
this language, but it's usually easier to choose and do something tangible, in part because of the entire accessible user
interface.
3. Rust
If you've never heard of Rust before, it's a new system-level programming language that is changing
the way we think about programming. Rust ranked first in the Stack OverFlow Developer Survey in 2018 for the language most
loved and desired by developers.
The Rust language was originally developed by the Mozilla Foundation and functions as a low level language
suitable for performance critical code. Rust is designed to avoid pending pointers, buffer overflows, or any other type of
memory errors.
For a beginner, Rust can be a little difficult to understand as it insists on several rules to ensure
memory security. However, experienced developers love it, and it is quite possible that in the coming years Rust will be in
high demand.
4. GO
Go is a minimal language like Python. Since it is developed by Google, who are also Python lovers, they
have created a language that is simple to write like Python, but more efficient like C ++. Go provides better resources for
writing concurrent programs. At a time when multi-core applications are being written, Go addresses the need very well and
there is also built-in concurrency support in it.
Combining the best aspects of functional and object-oriented programming as well as presenting a valuable
set of built-in development tools. Some good and famous projects are using, for example, kubernetes and Ethereum Cryptozoic
Project are based on Go.
5. Swift
If you want to get into mobile iOS development, you should definitely consider Swift as a well paid
career. Swift is a relatively new programming language, released in 2014. These are Apple's new language options for programming
native IOS and Mac-OS applications. Native apps have been found to outperform hybrid apps, and the Sprite-Kit makes it even
easier to create 2D games. It is considered an improvement in usability and performance compared to Objective-C.
Swift is a statistically typed language means that XCode checks your error for you, so your errors are
easier to track and besides, it operates faster. By the way, XCode is the editor of the Swift language.
Regardless of the language you choose, the important thing is always to stay current, Visionnaire is
always looking for new technologies, working with the most current languages of the market and agile methodologies,
providing products such as software development, applications, websites, corporate portals, consulting. and allocation throughout
the national territory.
