It is a lot of confusion nowadays in choosing the ultimate programming language for yourself. The new developers who have just joined this great journey of programming or the masters of a programming language who wish to learn and switch to a different language, are in a great confusion to choose from the wide varieties of languages available these days.
Stack overflow has done a fantastic survey about the most searched technologies and associated languages in the year of 2019 which could help us all to figure out what new tech stack to use for our next project while taking care of the needs of the project.
So let us now start with the categories of the top programming languages in 2020.
Most loved programming languages
The top 5 most loved programming languages, that are, the percent of programmers using the language are in the mood of continuing the use of the language in the future and they are as follows:
- Rust programming language. 86.1%
- Typescript 67.1%
- Python 66.7%
- Kotlin 62.9%
- Go 62.3%
Most dreaded programming languages
These are the programming languages in which the percent of programmers have shown the least or no interest in continuing to develop with the same language.
- Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) 80.4%
- Objective-C 76.6%
- Perl programming language 71.4%
- Assembly 70.6%
- C 66.9%
Most wanted programming languages
These languages are the ones in which the programmer are in a mood to switch for their upcoming projects or because the beauty of these languages have attracted the developers towards them 😛
The top 5 are as follows:
- Python 30%
- Javascript 18.5%
- Go 17.9%
- Typescript 17%
- Rust 14.6%
Given the statistics and all the other information, we could find the flow of the interest of the developers is in which direction that gives us insights on which language would be better for future use and how much would the demand of the language will be in the future.
If you want to dive deep into the statistics, here is the link to the Stack overflow survey 2020.
Thanks for reading. Enjoy your development journey!
