Top 5 Programming Languages That You Should Learn In 2021

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. – Martin Fowler

So in this post, we'll talk about the top 5 programming languages that you should learn in 2021.

And also see why you should learn these languages.

Let us start - 

5. Julia 

Julia is a great programming language and its demand is exponentially increasing in the past few years.

it was released in 2012 (9 years ago), and till now Julia has been downloaded by more than 10,000 companies and is also used at more than 1500 universities. 

It's a general-purpose language, which means you can use this language in various development sectors.

It is widely used in Scientific Computing, Web Development (backend) , Machine Learning, etc.

There are various reasons to learn Julia. Some of them are mention below:-

• It's a modern high-level language
• Compatible with Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and other demanding technologies.
• No. of companies that use Julia are increase over time.
• High-speed language like C, C++.
• Beginners friendly syntax.
• Great compatibility with MATLAB and Python.
• It has a built-in package manager (PKG) like python.
• Built-in mathematical function with great numerical accuracy.
• Free and Open Source

4. Golang

Golang was initially released in 2009 (11 years ago), design by Google. It basically designs for Multicore processors and efficiently use Multi-threading.

It widely used for creating API(Application Programming Interface) for front-end applications.

There are various companies that use Go Language like Google, Uber, Digital Ocean, Dropbox, etc.

Here are some reasons that why should you learn Go:

• It is a High-level language.
• It is faster than other High-level languages.
• Widely used for Parallel computing.
• Large no. of companies use this language.
• Great compatibility with Hardware.
• Widely Used in IoT devices.

3. C++

C++ was released in 1985 (35 years ago) and the extended version of C Language.

Although it's a very old language but plays a major role in the programming world in 2021.

The backend of modern languages like Python, Go, Julia are mostly written in C++ or C.

This language is faster than every modern languages. Although it's a high-level language but C++ is very close to native hardware development.

If you want to become a competitive programmer, I'll recommend you to learn C++  for that.

Here are some great features of the C++ Language:

• It is a High-level General purpose native Programming Language.
• Great compatibility with hardware.
• Widely used in IoT devices.
• Widely Used in Embedded Systems.
• Almost every Tech company uses C++.
• Also Used in artificial Languages.
• Used to create high-speed software and APIs.
•  Widely used in Game Development.
• C++ has a large community.
• C++ widely used in portable devices.
• Widely used of making compilers.
• C++ is widely used in operating systems.
• C++ is the first choice for competitive Programming.
• C++ used for making web browsers.
• Used for making editing software.

2 JavaScript

JavaScript is one of the most preferred languages among developers nowadays.

It was initially released in 1995.

JavaScript is a general-purpose language used in almost every domain of programming including frontend.

Also, JavaScript is one of the fastest-growing language in past few years.

JavaScript has its own runtime environment called NodeJS.

It is a beginner-friendly and very powerful language.

Most of the companies use JavaScript for the development

JavaScript widely used in Web Development (frontend and backend), Game Development, Mobile Development, etc.

Here are some reasons to learn JavaScript:

• One of the fastest-growing language.
• Used for creating Dynamic Web Apps
• Used for creating Mobile Apps
• Used for creating Desktop Application.
• JS used for creating Dynamic User Interface(Frontend).
• NodeJS used for server-side programming (Backend)
• Large community.
• The high demand for JS developers.
• Compatible with Artificial Intelligence.
• Also used in Game Development.
• Used in hacking.
• JS used for creating web APIs.
• NodeJS has a built-in package manager (npm)

1 Python

Python is one of the most preferred programming languages from last few years.

Python was initially released in 1991.

It is a general-purpose language and one of the easiest languages for complete beginners.

Initially, the python was developed for educational purposes but now it is used in almost every development sector.

Python is widely used in Artificial Intelligence, Ethical hacking, Blockchain, Web Development, Scientific Computing, etc.

Here are some great features of Python:-

• Super Easy to learn and use.
• Great collection of pre-written libraries.
• Used for creating APIs.
• Widely used in Artificial Intelligence.
• Widely used in Web development.
• Used in Game Development.
• Used in schools and universities for educational purposes.
• Used in Hacking.
• Python used in Cloud Computing.
• It is used in Blockchain.
• Used in mobile development.
• Used for a desktop application.
• Python used for Mobile Development.
• Python used for manipulating mathematical data.
• Python widely used in Data Science.
• It is used in IoT devices.
• It is used in NLP(Natural Language Processing)
• Used in Image Processing.

Fun Fact about Python :

1. The name 'Python' was taken by a television show name "Monty's Python Flying Circus".             
2. Unlike Other Programming languages, Python has two different versions which are used in the market Python 2 and Python 3 and both are independent of each other in the manner of syntax
