What is a programming language?

A programming language is a computer language that programmers use to develop software programs, texts, or other sets of instructions. One of the most valuable skills for today is the ability to write code and develop or create app or programs. After all, computer technologies are everywhere, from factories and transportation branches to home devices and communication. As usual, any user might have heard about 3 or 4 programming languages. As for the professional coders they know and even used a great variety of languages in order to fulfill different purposes.

Most popular programming languages

1. Python

As for me, it is generally accepted as the best programming language to learn first. YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, SurveyMonkey are all built with the help of Python. As a result, Python gives great library support and has a large developer community. Being both easy and powerful, Python supports streamlining of the development process of robust applications: web or mobile.

2. Kotlin

Kotlin is a general-purpose programming language with type inference. You need to know that it is designed to be fully interoperable with Java. Furthermore, Kotlin has a great future in the Android app development ecosystem. Taking everything into account it must be said that you can use this language for Android development, web development, desktop development, and server-side development.

3. Go

Go is fairly a new system-level programming language. It combines the best features of practical programming and object-oriented styles. One must admit that Go is the fastest-growing language on Github, moreover, it is meant to follow languages like Java and C++. This language can solve such as question as a slow collection and execution in large distributed software systems.

4. Swift

It is important to say that Swift is a general-purpose selected programming language which was developed by Apple. This language offers to developers a simple and cohesive syntax. It’s a much more modern language than some other picks. Nevertheless, we also agree that Swift is simple to understand but is rather expensive for some people.

5. JavaScript

On the whole, I think that JavaScript is one of the most popularly used programming languages. This program is an acknowledged leader in various browser programs. Now JavaScript is used for creation apps on all platforms including servers and mobile devices. The most successful companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Google are using JavaScript. JavaScript is everywhere!
