Mastering Programming: The Four Best Languages
Enhance your programming skills with these languages, even if you don’t use them daily.
Introduction
This is NOT your standard ‘best language to learn in 20XX’ type of article. You might never use some of these languages in a real application.
I’ve listed languages that I believe are invaluable for cultivating a holistic perspective as an engineer. I’m confident that learning these languages will enable you to develop superior software, even if you don’t employ them in your projects.
In this article, I’ll be highlighting the unique insights that these languages offer. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you should strive to apply them indiscriminately. For instance, Rust is a fascinating language with a plethora of web frameworks for writing your web server or even a front-end application. Yet, I wouldn’t resort to Rust for such tasks unless we’re dealing with extreme scenarios where even the micro garbage collection (GC) spikes in Golang could pose issues.
