Top 5 Programming Languages to Learn in 2024

It can be intimidating to decide which programming language to focus on. Hopefully, this video helps clear that up for some people!

The advice about picking a language (syntax) and then going deep to learn the concepts I wholly agree with. My main languages have been JavaScript / TypeScript and Java. Having started learning Python, I'm not impressed so far. Yes, it's popular, but the language itself seems to suck. Rust is harder to get into, but I want to learn that this year too. My wildcard is Julia, it's had a lot of teething problems and is struggling to establish itself. Having played with Python a bit I can see the advantage of a new language for scientific computing, jury is still out on that one.

Thanks, interesting insights. Currently focussing on python and C# but JS is definitely my next target.

I love other languages like GoLang, Lua, or PHP (or rather its frameworks)... But I have to agree, your choice is pragmatic and makes sense.

I just start learning English and writing sentences in my compiler Microsoft word, been going great so far

Honestly, this video is fantastic. I have been dabbling with my programming journey since about 2016. Mainly focused on python, and dabbled some HTML and CSS. But always was messing around with python. The thing is when I started to write javascript this year, it was really cool to see the immense differences, and like you said the amount of usability you can take advantage of with javascript is amazing. While python is unreal in terms of functionability, however like you said it doesnt look as good sometimes and the GUI and interfaces is pretty simple after you built something. Its cool having a script that can execute something like reading the stock prices or making a snake game with pygame, but i feel when learning javascript it really teaches the harder concepts of programming and how difficult it is to assign certain things. Python is pretty with how simple it looks and the differences i think helps you understand the code more.

This video alone is motivating me to get back on the Javascript train. Main reason is because like you said how many unique applications you could build just with javascript, from web dev, to plethora of other options. Amazing video bro.

Hello,
what do you think of Flutter

[MarioCheong-luhb]

Im just a beginner. You mentioned about react native and flutter but you never mention about dart. Is it not going to be a good language to start with?

I'm an iOS Dev. I'd like to mention that those languages that you listed are definitely good picks for various tooling.
But in my opinion it would be better to learn and use strictly typed language like Swift or Kotlin.

Now I'm making an app with Tauri which uses web view in frontend for UI (i use React with JS) and Rust for backend and business logic.
So yeah for me it's weird to not use types and so on. Which helps a lot to write a safe code on the other hand all the moving fast thing is nice) But u tend to crash more so gotta be cautious .

At some point any dev would touch raw JS and HTML/CSS combo so yeah JS is def good choice but not the first language :)

Comparing all the cross platform stuff is debatable as well, given that writing native code you always get a first class support from platform so system behavior and benefits are available to you. Where as if you are using something like React Native there are lots of limitations sadly.

TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, C#, C++, Solidity.

These programming languages cover a wide range of applications: web development (backend and frontend), mobile, desktop, embedded systems, ML/AI, data analysis, and data science, game development, cybersecurity, networks and systems, automation and scripting, blockchain, AR/VR, DevOps, etc.

They have promising futures, and numerous job opportunities are available. You just need to choose a couple of these languages, and you're good to go.

Decide which field you want to specialize in, and choose a language accordingly. Also, keep in mind that some languages are more saturated in the market; for instance, TypeScript is in a highly competitive market with millions of programmers, while Go, Rust, and Solidity are less saturated.

I think Python, JavaScript and Kotlin.

We all know the most legendary and impossible language to learn is all of the formulas and functions on microsoft excel spreadsheets

Me who is learning JavaScript and bookmarklets:
I have the power to hack websites 😈

[sambines]

typescript wtf don't include JS twice. Rust + Golang + C++/C + JS + python + PHP + Java + kotlin +swift + lua. All these languages do 90% of everything so learn them all

[artificialintelligencebird]

Javascript, Carbon, Mojo in my opinion

[GrassDragon_]

I just started coding a video game I learned python and im coding with c++

[orangecat]

There’s no way you’re speaking of Unity lmaooo 😂😂😂 That shit is getting cancelled

[monza]

I'm an AI and I'm going to replace you soon.

Typical webdeveloper mindset. Web development is boring as fuck.
