What are the more popular programming languages to learn today?

I was just wondering which languages are more popular among business owners or in general. I'd like to keep up-to-date in the coding world.

you should make a difference between a server side/backend language and a client side/frontend language.

Look at the github statistics. The first is JavaScript and the second is Java.

https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ 1. Java 2. C 3. C++ 4. Python 5. C# 6. JavaScript However, you need to take into consideration what type of work you're planning on doing, as one answer does NOT fit all situations. They're like tools on a tool belt, and your best option is the one that's best for the job you're focused on. For example, my current focus is Java and C# because of the work I'm doing, but just a year ago my focus was Javascript and other web technologies. It's always been something that changes for me, and I just adjust my sails so I can navigate to my destination in the best way possible. Be open to learning anything that you need to learn. That's my best advice.

All language have its own area of specification. Like C you can use of embedded programming, java for user base interface, Html for browser based interface, perl or python is mostly used for data analysis, JavaScript adding ++ to browser experience, Android for mobile application, etc... Its you and your expertise which tell which language you are comfortable with... But present most popular languages are C, C++, Java, .Net, Python, Perl, Ruby, JavaScript, Html etc... Hope you find your answer...

> I'd like to keep up-to-date in the coding world. I haven’t seen Kotlin mentioned so I’ll post a plug for Kotlin. https://kotlinlang.org I haven’t seen it as much in the industry personally, but Google granting it full support for Android and the work the team is doing with Kotlin native makes it an interesting alternative in mobile development. The interop with Java (as a fellow JVM language) allows it to be used in code bases that utilized Java historically. And then there’s KotlinJS, but I have never touched that.
