The most important skill to learn in today’s world is to know how to write a computer program. Today, computers have entered in almost every industry. From smart fridges to phones to smart toilets and any other device connected to the internet. Computers in various forms surround us. Computers are extremely useful for an organization to scale up well.

Gone are the days of pen and paper. Today, in order to store and access your information, you absolutely need computers.

The programming and developer communities are emerging at a rate faster than ever before.

Various new programming languages are coming up that are suited for different categories of developers (beginners, intermediate, and experts) as well as for different use cases (web application, mobile applications, game development, distributed system, etc).

Let us take a look at best Programming Languages to learn in 2019 for a job and for future prospects:

Python

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python’s simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance.

The latest report from Forbes states that Python showed a 456-percent growth in last year. Quite a number, isn’t it? To put it in business terms, Netflix uses Python, IBM uses Python, and hundreds of other companies all use Python. Let’s not forget Dropbox. Dropbox is also created in Python.

Ok, now one could think Python is for web development only. Nothing could be further from the truth. According to Full Stack Python, Python remains a stable programming language with a growing ecosystem used not only by developers. Python is considered great for deployment automation and web development, but many non-developers are first introduced to the Python language and its ecosystem when doing data work.

JavaScript

JavaScript is the most widely used programming language in the world. According to GitHub, JavaScript has over 1.2 million repositories, and there are over 1.3 million questions asked on Stack Overflow compared to all other languages. The difference is stellar.

In addition to being the only cross-browser scripting language, it’s also used as a back-end language (Thanks to Node.js).

Node.js was released in 2009, you can see the trend to the side.

Node JS

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform run-time environment for developing server-side Web applications.

JavaScript can now also be used as a server-side language through the Node.js framework, and in recent years the community has gained a lot of momentum.

Note: Node JS is not a platform, it’s not a framework. Actually, Node JS is a run-time for JavaScript that allows you to run JavaScript on the machine itself. Historically speaking, JavaScript was designed for the browser. So you would create a website, User interactions, user behavior and all kinds of logic would be written in JavaScript and it would run in the browser only.

With Node.js now you can build

Back-End of any Website
Blogs Survey App
Chat App
Social Media App
API
Data Processing
Shopping Cart
Game Engines
Desktop App

PayPal, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Mozilla, Netflix, Uber, Groupon, GoDaddy, and ebay uses Node.js.

There’s no doubt JavaScript will do great in future. More and more developers will learn JavaScript than any other language. This is only because Node.js is so successful.

With the increasing usage of desktop, tablet and smartphones, JavaScript, of course, has very lustrous future. The advantage of JavaScript is that it’s native to the web, and the web is everywhere.

There are lots of frameworks or libraries developed with JavaScript: jQuery, node, angular, meteor, backbone, ember, and much more. We will definitely see a lot more JavaScript apps in the near future.

Golang

Golang, popularly known as Go, is the new programming language built by Google. Go provides an excellent support for multithreading and so, it is being used by a lot of companies that rely heavily on distributed systems. Go is widely used in startups in Silicon Valley. However, it is yet to be adopted by Indian companies/startups. Those who wish to join a Valley-based startup specializing in core systems should master Golang.

Swift

This language is mainly used for the IOS developers as it is the replacement for C. the development community of the Apple mainly used this language primarily, there are signs where swift could be expended which can become the language of the servers choice and systems programming. This language might be useful for the future purpose having both the versions which shows the evolution sign. It is easy to learn, more efficient and more suited for the challenges which might be faced by the programmers in the future. For building the products of the apple you can learn this language and it also helps you to rewrite the server code.

Thanks for reading, In this article I looked over the future of coding languages and what are the ones to go with.
