Top 5 Programming languages to Learn in 2020
Everyone should learn to code Because it teaches how to think ~Steve Jobs
In 2020 there are more than 700 programming languages out there and so many people have the confusion regarding which language to learn. Despite numerous programming languages, 90% of the tech world is using less than 10 programming languages where there are 5 languages the Programmer or Developer must learn which are Python, Javascript, Java, C#, and Swift. So let’s begin with one of the most trending and most liked programming languages among the developers which is you may have guessed It right PYTHON.
1. PYTHON
According to Google Trend and Github survey python is the most desired language among the developer community, Why is that?, There are thousands of reason to embrace this language because it’s super easy to learn, Large community support and there are thousands of libraries supported by Python. It is a free, open-source programming language with extensive support modules and community development, easy integration with web services, user-friendly data structures, and GUI-based desktop applications. It is a popular programming language for Machine Learning and deep learning applications.
Advantages of Python:
- Flexible
- Scripted language no need for compilation
- Thousands of libraries available
- Best for beginner
- Versatile
Study shows that an average salary of Python developer is $92,000 and it can be increased depending on the skill level and experience in development.
2. JAVASCRIPT
What can I tell you about this language! There was a time when Web development was so difficult before javascript, It was an evolution in web technology. Without javascript, you can build the website but the interactive experience which is a necessity now impossible without javascript. Javascript is everywhere and it’s a great tool to have on the pocket if you are interested in web development.
Javascript is not just for web developer though there are so many libraries and frameworks supported by this language by which you can develop Mobile Application also yes you heard it right you can develop the Mobile application so-called Cross-Platform apps with the help of Javascript and it also supports some of the machine learning tools. There are some IoT projects where javascript is used to integrate some AI applications. So as I said with the help of javascript you can pretty much do anything.
Advantages of Javascript:
- A framework like Angular(exclusive for Typescript), Reactjs, Vue js which are being used for developing Progressive web apps.
- Large community support
- Clean and easy syntax among other languages.
The average annual salary of Javascript developers is $72,000.
3. JAVA
Java is one of the most common, in-demand computer programming languages in use today. Owned by the Oracle Corporation, this general-purpose programming language with its object-oriented structure has become a standard for applications that can be used regardless of platform (e.g., Mac, Window, Android, iOS, etc.).
Most of the android developer is using Java because of the huge community support apart from that Kotlin which is the latest language for android development is also growing fast but It won’t be replacing Java because lots of giant companies are using Java language for there Application.
Advantages of Java:
- Regarded as a good start for learning to think like a programmer
- Widely use and great job opportunity
The average annual salary of a Java developer is $94,000 which is the highest among the other 2 languages because of its popularity.
4. SWIFT
In March 2017, Swift made it to the top 10 in the monthly TIOBE Index ranking of popular programming languages. Apple developed swift in 2014 for Linux and Mac applications. An open-source programming language that is easy to learn, Swift supports almost everything from programming language Objective-C.
The only reason swift is so popular and must learn language because its an only language support IOS development so if you want to develop and Ios application you have to learn SWIFT. It is easy to learn if you have basic knowledge of coding and app development. If you know how to develop Android apps then Learning Iso development is not a big deal.
5. C# (C sharp)
C# is an elegant and type-safe object-oriented language that enables developers to build a variety of secure and robust applications that run in the .NET ecosystem.
This language is widely used in game development because of its ecosystem it is easy and very old language.C# syntax is highly expressive, yet it is also simple and easy to learn. The curly-brace syntax of C# will be instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with C, C++, or Java. Developers who know any of these languages are typically able to begin to work productively in C# within a short time.
There are some other languages which are worth learning and add in your tech stack
6. C and C++
7. Ruby
8. Go (Highly recommend)
It’s time for coding
The field of computer programming changes rapidly, the languages that we’ve discussed above have a great deal of staying power. By learning one or more of these languages, you’ll be in an excellent position not only for this year but in the years to come.
