Programming Language Tier List

The ultimate programming language tier list for 2024

[pyyrr]

ok list.
the more esoteric languages like lisp and haskel would probably have gone a little lower for me.
i probably would have put rust in C however, not only because it isnt used like anywhere, but it also doesnt really offer anything over c++. and visual basic would have gotten at least A because its actually used a lot by engineers.
perhaps sql would have also been moved up simply because it is a very important language

Someone : says "programming language"
HTML5 : That's me !

"I don't see big companies hiring Rust developers", ohh that is a good one

A more accurate title would be "Programming Language + what surrounds it Tier List", there are languages that I think are SSS tier, but few people use them due to different reasons, be it because it's a non-mainstream paradigm or the presence of certain language is too strong to allow another similar, but more well designed language, to get relevance.
It would be hard to do a "Programming Language Tier List", because one would have to really have some acknowledgment from these languages (not just a quick read, but actually spend some time to dive into it).

I'm used to LUA, C++, Python, JS and PHP (also ASM bcs I'm doing some games patch/modding).
About the rest I don't really know how to feel bcs I rarely use or never used them.
I heard a lot of positive stuff about Rust though, stuff like: "it's 1000x timer better than C++ you should try..."
Personally I'm used to C++ and actually when you know how to properly use it, it's an awesome language.

Not sure what job offers you have been looking at if you say Kotlin isn't used by a lot of people. Not only is it the default language on Android these days, it's also used more and more on backend server development, including the last two companies I worked at.

The reason it hasn't outright replaced Java yet, is because the java developer community isn't really that fond of change and working with different things(and I say this as someone who spent the majority of his career working with Java). It is quite literally a better language that doesn't even take that much effort to introduce into older Java projects, as you can simply call Java code from Kotlin and vice-versa.

I'd said if you consider simplicity then go definitely deserves higher. Otherwise I understand and quite respectyour take

I was a C++ programmer. I've done a couple job interviews lately and all they want is Rust. The companies are acting like my C++ knowledge has no value anymore and they just want Rust programmers because the new projects from all the big companies are Rust now. Even Microsoft is rewriting the core Windows libraries in Rust.

8:00 "C++ is just C but it has more stuff" and from another video: "C and C++ are different languages and should not be compared" Sounds like you are violating your own rule of not comparing them. And you are wrong because C++ does not have the restrict keyword but C does.

Edit: I just realized this was published on April 1st.

He put python in s tier than the runtime of the fastest possible python programm/script

[andrewknox]

When lisp got put in A tier I realized this video was comedic 😂 I programmed a simple war game in lisp and oh my god the amount of parenthesis I needed - fkn insanity.

[Rodrigo-jdwg]

Wtf JavaScript in s tier? Objectively the worst language imaginable, is this an April fool's joke 😂

[FluffyDragon-cmbz]

Ruby in C tier kinda hurt, but I do get no one really cares for it anymore

[MyriadColorsCM]

I've took this week to get into bash scripting and, by god, I absoltue hate everything about it.

If it wasnt so useful for my linux productivity, I'd given up on it already.

[gramble]

how dare you put c in a it belongs in s

[BigPoleTightHole]

Lost me at putting python in "s" tier.
