Top 10 Fastest Growing Programming Languages According to GitHub
Nov. 24, 2019Topping the list isDart, the programming language developed by Google for its mobile, desktop, backend, and web applications. Considering Google’s efforts to pushFuchsia OS, it is quite natural to see a sudden boost in interests for the programming language.
In the third place, we haveHCL, a structured configuration language developed by HashiCorp. Its API accepts JSON as an input and uses JSON as an interoperability layer rather than reinventing the wheel.
Kotlin, the language that aims to take over Java for Android development secures the fourth position. After the initial learning curve, Android developers tend to prefer Kotlin over Java these days for developing modern apps.
The object-oriented programming language used by developers on SalesForce,Apexis the next language on the list. The syntax of Apex is similar to Java making it easier for developers to learn the language without much effort.
Python, a programming languagepraised by developers for its simplicity while maintaining efficiency comes next. While Python was at the peak of its glory last year, it is good to see the language’s userbase grow at a steady pace.
Surprisingly,Assembly languagefound its way to this list. For the uninitiated, Assembly language is a low-level language that is more specific in nature. The language is usually used for compiling source code from high-level languages like C/C++. Having knowledge in Assembly language can come in handy if you need to write compilers for high-level programming languages or if you need to make efficient and optimized IoT projects.
To wrap up the list, we haveGo/Golang, the programming language from Google that lets you write some optimized efficient code, thanks to its garbage collection and concurrency model.
