With
changing the systems and programs, programming languages are still evolving in
the industry and in the real world. Today there are various programming
languages with different writing rules and characteristics.
Nowadays,
developers can have a selection of the most powerful languages in the field
based on their own or their client's preferences. The development of these
languages took place from 1967 to 1997, but finally, with the rapid growth of
Internet in the mid-1990s, a great progress come to the world of programming
languages.
A
guideline to the evolution of programming languages during the past decade.
Let's
take a look at the history of programming languages. In 2010, Java and JavaScript
were at the top of the list of well-known languages, following it PHP become
popular, followed by C ++, C, Python, and #C. But in 2015, the order of their
popularities somehow changed.
While
Java and JavaScript remained at the top of the list, Python came in third
place, leaving PHP behind. Then came PHP, #C, C ++ and C +, respectively.
The
Interesting point is that R language was considered in the 10 top prior
languages for statistical calculations, and this shows the growing importance
of data analysis and data mining. Objective-C and the Swift language, designed
for the Apple platform, were also included in the list. Let's take a look at
some of the top programming languages:

Most
of the languages listed above have taken years to reach this level, and many
features have been added during the time.
1.
Python language
Writing
codes is complicated in most of the above listed programming languages, even
for professional programmers. Python was created in 1991 and gained a good popularity
because it was very simple for users. Python is a high-level programming
language with an emphasis on better readability of the codes and has extensive
libraries and frameworks. Some of the considerable features of Python include:
·
Open text programming
language
·
Extensive support for
modules with a large community
·
Easy integration with web
services
·
User-friendly data
structure
·
desktop applications based
on GUI
2.
Java language
Java,
on the other hand, is another top-level programming language which was
developed in the 1990s and is one of the most popular languages among the
programmers. Java was originally made for cable boxes and manual devices.
However,
this language has evolved so much that it is present almost everywhere today,
from the World Wide Web to smartphones to computers. Java is one of the best
programming languages and today is widely used after Python.
3.
JavaScript language
JavaScript
language is the next most popular programming language which is created by
Internet. This language is created just in ten days in 1995 and it is a
powerful, object-based scripting language.
JavaScript
is one of the most widely used programming languages nowadays, and almost all
Internet websites made by using this language. Over the past few years,
extensive updates have been made on this language and it has been completely remade.
Recent versions of JavaScript have added many modern features, and today this
language is very different from the JavaScript of the last decade.
4.
C # language
The
development of programming languages happens during the time and every year.
The C # language, created by Microsoft is considered as one of the most
powerful programming languages in .NET framework.
C
# is a compatible, object-oriented, and powerful language that along with the
great Visual Studio environment can meet many of your needs for creating
different applications. C # is the entry point for programmers to learn Microsoft
technologies, in a way that most of these technologies use this language as a
basic language.
5.
PHP language
Like
Python, PHPis another programming language developed by a programmer in 1990s
as a side project. During the time, more features were added to PHP product and
it became a full-applicable server-side language. However, as JavaScript
becomes more powerful, especially now that you can use it on the server side,
the popularity of PHP will be diminished.
6.
C ++ Language
C
++ is inspired by C language and was first developed as a plugin for C language.
But over the time, C ++ became a multi-model, all-purpose programming language.
This language is mostly used in Microsoft products and desktop applications. During
the past 10 years, C ++ has become one of the most well-known and widely used
programming languages.
7.
Language C
During
the years 1969-1973, Dennis Ritchie, an engineer working at Bell Labs developed
a general and all-purpose programming language that was compiled directly into
a machine language. This language is sometimes referred to as a basic language
for other languages, although C is a very old language, but has never lost its
popularity. C programming language gives programmers complete control over the
hardware.
8.
Language R
R
is another widely used programming language, which is widely used in making
statistical software as well as data analysis by statisticians and data
scientists. The programming language of R, along with its libraries implements
a wide range of graphic as well as statistical techniques.
9.
Swift language
Swift
is a highly efficient, all-purpose compiler programming language with a high
usage. Swift was created primarily to replace Objective-C on Mac and iOS. One
of the reasons for the popularity of this language is its language design. With
a simpler, more accurate, cleaner, and ergonomic combination of features, Swift
offers a better choice for Objective-C in the Apple ecosystem.
10.
Objective-C language
Developed
in the early 1980s, Objective-C is an all-purpose, object-oriented programming
language. Objective-C was the first language used to write applications on OS X
and iOS. Most of the cases in this language are taken from C language.
Programming
languages have been continuously growing for the past 70 years, initially you
had to spend hours to produce a program in a low-level language, but today the
same speed program is written by Python. By learning new and improved
programming languages, save your time and make your skills to meet the demands
of the tech world.
