Every one will be replaced by AI coding directly in binary.
java: What I’ve been programming in for 25 years
javascript: what i program in when I need to
python: what I’d like to program in and occasionally do
C++: what I used to be very proficient at but then the 1990s ended
c#: I barely knew thee
Kotlin: I do java, what does Kotlin bring me other than android?
Go: isn’t that C renewed?
PHP: it appears to have evolved into a real OO language in recent years. I’ll still avoid it
PHP has become the go to standard.
I’ll guess that you had a problem with Fortran?
I suspect the same but we will give up all control.
It depends on what you are building. If a website then it is pretty common. If you are building a data processing app or server side app that has no direct UI then it is not likely.
I agree... It dominates the website development industry now for sure.
Actually, I’m mostly a retired C++ and Java guy with some C# and PHP thrown in. I have a legacy of dozens of languages going back to WATFOR, ALGOL, PL/1, plus various assembly languages. That’s not a big deal, just age. Any experienced programmer can learn to code in a new language in a week or so. They are logically equivalent and frequently syntactically and semantically nearly equivalent. Once you understand the underlying programming model being used, you can quickly come up to speed. Ergo, who really cares what programming language is being used? The interesting part is solving the business/science problem at hand.
no worries, FORTRAN will still be here...
Java fetishes complexity allowing application teams to architect elegant, reusable frameworks with so many layers of idiosyncratic nonsense noone will ever re-use them and the next batch of developers don’t understand the class hierarchies or how to change them when no longer working for the business rules (one size fits all). This gets expensive, coded in cement, outsourced, massive and opaque software leafs to inevitable system death, rebirth, rewrites, then cancelled for smaller, flatter, cloud based Python, Notebooks, cloud functions while noone knows why the microsservices no longer work after Bob or Sally left.
Thank God for Spring Boot.
Nope.
I still miss Pascal.
PHP: The only one on the list that is dying. No one starts a new project in PHP in 2023. Like Cobol it will hang around in legacy systems for decades, but it has been superseded.
C#/C++: The big thing missed is that almost all games are done in one of these two. As long as video games remain a multi billion dollar industry they will prosper.
Python: Any project is just better if you can do it in Python. It’s the default language for all Computer Science programs and will continue its steady rise.
Spring Boot is the only way to go for Java development these days.
... and one language (Rust) to rule them all.
Now you're just hurtin' me! (The 'Turbo' variety, of course, which had a nice module self-test feature).
From the management perspective, you have to think in terms of, “If my entire team left today, which language/platform allows me to replace them quickly and cheaply?”
You can argue the technical merits of one language or the other until the cows come home, but that really is the bottom line.
