Globally


United States

Kotlin

Kotlin from the past couple of years has become much more famous programming language. It is an easily typed programming language which is developed by the company JetBrains. It has now been named as the language for the development of Android apps officially.

The popularity of this language has been increasing on a daily basis since it has been introduced as an Android app primary language for the development. Its best part is that it runs on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and is 100% interoperable. It also works with the JavaScript for both the backend and frontend development, which makes it versatile. Thus, if you are looking to learn a new language, then Kotlin is a for you.

The total working of the Apple platform has already made sure that people with Objective-C skills are always high in demand. This language can fetch the developers a salary much closer to around six-figure due to the dependency of Apple on this language.

Rust

Rust is a programming language which is developed by the developers of Mozilla Firefox, it is the best language for the development of mobile apps and has been rated as the best programming language in the year 2018.

Rust has proceeded the C++ and C with respect to the security, speed, and agility. The primary reason for the popularity of this object-oriented programming language is its safe code system that eliminates the strange behavior, and even the system crashes by restricting the access of program to a specific part of the memory.

Just because of its high rated reviews, Coursea and Dropbox have started showing interest in the Rust. The popularity of this language is going to grow in the coming future as well.

Go

Go language, which is also known by the name as Golang, is developed by Google. It is a language which comes after Python. This is a language which is a favorite for the Python lovers. This language even provides the support for multithreading.

F#

F#, which is pronounced as F sharp, is developed and designed by Microsoft. It is a language which is mainly used in the data statistical, artificial application, scientific research, data analytics, and game designing, etc.

F# supports multi-paradigm with a rich set of the library which helps to deal with each and every domain no matter whether it is a web-based application, desktop-based application, or mobile-based one.

According to the report which has been revealed by the StackOverflow, F# is one of the top paying technology, as it is getting popular on a daily basis and soon it will be going to be a top-rated programming language.

Scala

Scala, which is a high-level programming language, is developed for both the functional and object-oriented, it is designed in the year 2004 by Martin Odersky. It is intended to be a fast, powerful, and developer friendly programming language.

As of now, the latest version of the Scala is 2.14.8. Scala is the blending of two words: Scalable and Language.

Scala even allows the developers to define the types which are associated with the behavior attributes and data attributes. Scala uses the Java Libraries and Java Virtual Machine which makes it easily compatible with Java, thus gives feasibility to use Scala into any of the application which is based on Java.

Clojure

Clojure is a dynamic, general purpose and predominantly functional programming language which has its roots are in Lisp, one of the oldest computer languages. It also works on many of the modern programming language concepts which include the advanced concurrency and lazy evaluation abstractions. Some of the major companies which include Staples, Walmart, and Amazon are using the Clojure technology for the development of applications.

Clojure has also spawned a vibrant community of programmers who keep on working on some of the rich set of tools and frameworks.

PowerShell/Bash/Shell

PowerShell is a scripting and command line shell language which is designed for the purpose of system administration. PowerShell analog in Linux is known as bash Scripting, which is built and developed on the .Net framework. It even helps the IT professionals to automate and control the administration work of the windows operating application and system that runs on the environment of windows server.

Ruby is a language which is being used by many of the major internet platforms like GitHub, Shopify, Twitter, Basecamp, Airbnb and Slideshare.

Elixir

Elixir is an open source general purpose, a dynamic, concurrent, functional programming language which works on the Erlang Virtual Machine (EVM). This language provides with the production tooling and extensible design. This language is highly used for the social media channels, web development portals, news & journalism services, and highly scalable platform. This coding language with the integration of the Phoenix framework can be used to build an application for any of the industry.

Erlang

Erlang which is a general and functional programming language which works on the runtime environment.

This language was initially built to use only in the Ericsson to cope up with the telephony applications. It was merely designed to be real-time, and distributed system that provides with the functional programming in one handy package. It is a programming language which is used to create small, big, and reliable applications/system.

Erlang is the most popular programming language due to its advanced features like scheduling, networking, memory management, concurrent processes, distribution, etc. Whatsapp is the live example of the Erlang, as Whatsapp platform server is implemented in Erlang.

WebAssembly

WebAssembly, which is short for the WASM is not a programming language. It is just a fast, small binary format which promises to provide with the native performance for the web and mobile based applications. It served as a compilation target for any of the programming language no matter which one it is.

Conclusion

So, these are some of the best programming languages as of now that are expected to remain accessible and effective in 2019 and the more years to come. The knowledge and learning of these languages can help you to enhance your job opportunities and skills.
