Top 5 programming languages in 2022

            

               Nowadays, Programming and Coding are the latest trends in tech sector. Earlier in 90s a computer programmer was someone who had insane coding skills and there were very few programmers or say very few eligible to be called as a programmer. But due to rise in technologies and easy to learn languages we have a more number of programmers today. 

    

            Having more number of programmers means a good competition. A good Programmers updates himself with the latest technologies and trends without comprising the basics. Today we have many programming languages to chose from to start our journey as a programmer or to update ourselves as a programmer. Depending on our niche, we can chose from a variety of languages. But what about the latest technologies, Which programming languages have keep up with the latest trends? Which programming language is the best to start our career as a programmer? Which language has great community which can help a programmer to grow? To add on more confusion more and more programming languages are added every year. 

            

            So, When choosing a programming language to learn we have to consider various factors after all it costs us one of the precious things i.e. our time. 

    

            Whether you want to develop a Mobile application or a web application or want to enter into Data Science you need to learn the right programming languages. Today we will discuss about top 5 programming languages to learn in 2022.

    1) JavaScript

             
            You would be like why JavaScript? Why not. JavaScript is the most popular programming languages in the world. More than 97% of the website today published on Internet uses JavaScript as their server side languages. According to Stack Overflow, JavaScript is the most concerned and most used programming language in recent years.

            JavaScript is a high level programming languages originally build for web development but now are used in server-side website deployments and non-web browser applications as well. JavaScript initially known as LiveScript was introduced in 1995. At that time Java was a popular language and there were many similarities(but were still a distinct language) in the languages so the name was changed to JavaScript. JavaScript was also called as "younger brother" of Java. With time JavaScript has evolved a lot with various libraries and framework making it much more independent language. 

            It is used in Web Development, Game Development, Mobile Application Development and much more. The average JavaScript developer earns about $112,152 per year. 

              Pros :

                1) Easy to learn.

                2) Runs easily on client site server.

                3) It has a well-organized codebase that provides enhanced productivity and readability.

               4) Provides user input validation controls  

               Cons :

                Interpretation is different for different browser which makes it difficult to write the code.

    2) Python

        

            Python is considered as the future of the programming world. Easier to learn as a beginner due to its readability. It is free, open source programming language. It has a great community and user-friendly data structure. Its ability to involve GUI based applications makes it more popular language in 2022. If you want to invest your time for the future then Python is your get to go language.

        Python was invented in 1991 by Guido Van Rossum. Being the main coding language in 2022 for 80% of the developers it supports Artificial Intelligence(AI), Data Science as well as Machine Learning which adds unto 3 future giants in technology. Python supports 2D as well as 3D animations packages. 

        Python is used in applications such as Blender, Autodesk, FreeCAD and in popular video games too. Also used in Data Science. The average salary of a Python Developer is $109,092.

         Pros :

                1)  Flexible and Readable.

                2) It is a scripted language.

        

        Cons :

                

                It doesn't start with the basics of DSA so one should know the basics of a programming language.               

         3) Go 

        Go Language created by Google in 2007 to manage its growing infrastructure. Go is considered an efficient programming language as compared to the other languages. Go has became one of the rapidly growing programming languages in 2022 due to its efficiency and ability to handle very big codebase.

        Golang became popular due to its simple structure and a familiar syntax but with good ability to work for an large project. Many IT companies shifted towards Golang due to its advance features.

        Golang is easy to learn even if you know somewhat basics of any programming languages. Even if you are a pure beginner with mere patience Golang can help you grow as a programmer.

        Golang is used in mostly in google applications, it has also gained much more attention in Data Science thanks to its performance. The average salary of a Golang Developer is $141,654

         Pros :

                1)  It is easy to learn and faster to execute.

                2) It is compatible with most of the browser. 

        

        Cons :

                

                It is very generic language which means that you end up writing more code compared to the other programming language. It also has a very low library support. Absence of strong community.    

        4) Java

        

            Java  is the most powerful and most used programming language in these digital world. More than 3 billion Android as well as iOS Devices are used today. Java is widely used in mobile phones. Java also being a Object Oriented Language making it more popular. 

        Java is famous for its (WORA) Write Once Run Anywhere capability.
