How to choose programming language depending on the task

The software industry has plenty of languages for coding for development tasks as we all know. We can’t select the language all of a sudden to start the application. It requires a sort of research and planning before executing the plan and also the development of language selection also takes place by considering lots of important aspects as listed below.

1. Types of Application
2. Targeted Platform
3. Scalability and Performance
4. Security
5. Development Time Limit

Let’s get into the,

1. Types of Application

Which kind of application we are going to make is the major factor behind selecting the programming language for any project or application. It also depends on the application if we want a web application or a mobile application. After this, we must check the complexity of the application before we execute the work. Web application forms, portfolio presentations, simple marketing websites, or simple personal blogs are the kind of small projects we can build with CMS systems like WordPress (which requires PHP knowledge). Medium and large types of projects mostly require JAVA, Python, PHP, React and Angular language for project completion. But in the end, we can say that the project’s objective and uniqueness are what make us decide the language we should choose to do the project.

2. Targeted Platform

Another important thing in selecting a language is that we must take care of which platform we want to target. Let’s take an example. Let’s say you have two options to write code in respectively JAVA and C. And if you have written the code in C and want that code to run in Windows and Linux. In this case, we need platform compiles and two executables.

3. Scalability and Performance

The performance of the app depends on the choices of the programming language. How many users are gonna tackle using this application? On the other side, we must take care of future forecasting which includes how many users will add to this application further.

4. Security

We should take care of security selection for our application while choosing a programming language for that. Because every application has different types of security requirements in it. For example, healthcare-related applications require HIPAA compliance and financial applications require PCI compliance. So, this way we can say that this criterion should also be taken care of when choosing a programming language.

5. Development Time Limit

Every organization wants to release the application as soon as possible. Business stakeholders want new features and applications to be ready quickly. That is what makes us choose the developing language accordingly. Also, developers should be familiar with the language they use to make applications.

This is how you can make any decision or your development language selection as per what we discussed above. For more information regarding language selection solutions, Do contact us.
