Both novice developers and professional developers want to program in the best programming language. And, it is desirable that it be also popular, because it is under the popular programming language that various libraries will be produced, shells will be created and improved. Let's try to consider the most popular programming languages at the end of 2013 and write a short description for each of them.
1.C (progenitor of C ++, C #)
The first place in the ranking takes, not surprisingly, the C language, developed about 40 years ago. During this time, he changed a lot, but the basic principles of work remained the same. C language gives a lot of features and functions, it is very flexible and functional, for which developers love it. C has created a whole family of languages, including C ++, C #, C-Sharp, Objective-C, and many other languages.
2. Java
Second place in the ranking is Java. This relatively recently created language (the first version was created in 1995) was previously developed by Sun Microsystems, but now the development has moved to Oracle. The language is mainly used to write applications for mobile phones and smartphones on Android, but there are also programs on Windows written on it. A feature of the language is its ability to work on any platform with the presence of a Java machine on it.
3. Objective-C
Closes the three most popular programming languages Objective-C. It is a language for writing programs for the iPhone and iPad, as well as for Mac computers. Of course, the main emphasis is placed on the first two devices, because Apple computers are not as popular as their mobile gadgets. This programming language is object-oriented, with the help of it you can easily create any desired application, although its complex syntax and punctuation is noted in comparison with other languages.
4. C ++
Fourth place in the ranking is C ++. It is he who is the most popular programming language for Windows computers. This language, modified at one time from the C language, received, in comparison with it, a lot of new functions and has become a favorite tool for many programmers.
5. PHP
The fifth place is taken by the PHP language. This language was conceived for creating sites and individual pages. Now its popularity is growing very quickly. This, of course, is connected with the continuous growth of the Internet, which we do not even think about.
This is exactly what the five looks like most popular programming languages at the moment. This is a programming language for computers, a language for programming on smartphones and tablets, on Apple devices, again on computers and on Internet pages.
