What are the most popular coding languages?
| Name of language | What is this language used for? | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | Scripting system applications | Efficient and portable, with built-in functions that combine high- and low-level languages | Does not support object-oriented programming |
| Python | General purpose programming language used for back-end development | Easy to learn and read, versatile, and portable with vast libraries | Can be slower than C or C++ |
| JavaScript | Client-side and server-side programming language used to create interactive websites | Easy to learn and understand, powerful, popular, and flexible programming language that works with other languages | As a client-side script, users can view the code, which poses a security threat |
| Ruby | Creating web applications, web development, web servers, web scraping, DevOps, and automation | Widely used open-source programming language with a user-friendly syntax, a fast development speed, and powerful community | Limits on customization and runtime lags |
| C++ | Popular in game development, but also used for operating systems, web applications, and browsers | Fast programming language with quick image processing and object-oriented features | Security issues, relatively slow, complex programming language with obscure rules |
| PHP | Server-side scripting language embedded in HTML that serves interactive websites such as e-commerce webpages | Versatile, easy-to-learn programing language with a vast online community; compatible with various operating systems | Common open-source security issues cannot support large applications and weak type causes bugs |
| C# | Created by Microsoft, this back-end, object-oriented programming language is used for game development, Windows applications, and website development | Versatile and efficient programming language used for many types of software and applications development; similar to C++ | This complex language takes a long time to master and requires code to be compiled. |
