These top 10 programming languages have dominated development in 2017
An interactive ranking from IEEE Spectrum has put Python at the top of top 10 programming languages most used by its readers.
With the continued growth of interest in software engineering and developer jobs, it seems like everyone wants to know the top 10 programming languages are the most useful to learn. The popularity of these languages flows with the market, so it's important that developer stay on top of the trends.
Whether it's an old legacy language, or a new one that is taking the industry to the height, keeping your skills well-rounded can make you a more attractive job candidate, or potentially earn you extra responsibility at your company. But, you need to choose which languages to invest in wisely.
To help better understand language popularity, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently released its list of the top 10 programming languages for 2017 on its web publication, IEEE Spectrum. The list is interactive, and can be sorted a variety of ways, but here is how language popularity ranks for the typical IEEE Spectrum reader.
1. Python
Python is the No. 1 language of 2017, up two places from its position last year, the list said. It was also the most popularity trending language within job descriptions and among open source hubs.
2. C
C can trace its origin all the way back to the early 1970s, around the same time as Unix. Despite its age, C is still popular in open source software, and for a variety of other uses.
3. Java
An object-oriented language, Java routinely tops charts as one of the most popular languages in use. The language was birthed in 1995 by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems, which was acquired by Oracle. Lawsuits have been bought by Oracle against Google for the use of Java in the Android OS.
4. C++
C++ debuted in 1983, and has gone on to influence a host of other languages. Typically, large-scale systems designed for commercial purposes make use of C++, including many popular desktop operating systems.
5. C#
Inspired by the sharp musical notation, C# hit the scene as part of Microsoft's .NET framework. In 2017, C# reentered the top five, the IEEE list noted, reclaiming the spot it lost to R last year.
6. R
Available under the GNU General Public License, R is commonly associated with statistical applications and data analysis. With the strong growth of data science jobs in the enterprise, it's likely that R will stay popular for a while.
7. JavaScript
Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the foundational tools used to build interactive website elements and some online games. Introduced in 1995, it has grown from only client-side implementations to working server-side as well.
8. PHP
PHP, which stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, is geared more toward web development, but can be used for other purposes as well. Version 7.2 is due out by the end of November 2017.
9. Go
A relatively young language, Go was launched in 2007 after being built internally at Google. A free and open source project, Go is used in many enterprise tools such as Docker, Dropbox, MongoDB, and more.
10. Swift
The most recent language on the list, Swift was created by Apple and unveiled in June 2014. Swift is used to program for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS, but it is open source, so it has seen other implementations as well.
Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is not finding recent happenings in Facebook funny. He is also not sitting idle and letting negative acts destroy the platform he created to serve humanity, he has vowed to defend the integrity of his platform. Over the last few weeks, people have been seen hurting themselves and others on Facebook, either live or through videos. To this, Zuckerberg says, is heartbreaking and he has been reflecting on how to stop these, for a better community. Zuckerberg has resorted to beefing up the number of administrators on Facebook to 750,000 so as to have enough manpower to review activities on the medium and react appropriately and timely. This means that additional 3,000 people will be added to the already 4,500 administrators handling Facebook affairs at the moment. On Facebook murder and threats, Zuckerberg in a statement, Quote “If we’re going to build a safe community, we need to respond quickly. We’re working to make these videos easier to report so we can take the right action sooner – whether that’s responding quickly when someone needs help or taking a post down. Over the next year, we’ll be adding 3,000 people to our community operations team around the world – on top of the 4,500 we have today – to review the millions of reports we get every week, and improve the process for doing it quickly. These reviewers will also help us get better at removing things we don’t allow on Facebook like hate speech and child exploitation. And we’ll keep working with local community groups and law enforcement who are in the best position to help someone if they need it – either because they’re about to harm themselves, or because they’re in danger from someone else”. He also added that; Quote “in addition to investing in more people, we’re also building better tools to keep our community safe. We’re going to make it simpler to report problems to us, faster for our reviewers to determine which posts violate our standards and easier for them to contact law enforcement if someone needs help. As these become available they should help make our community safer”. He noted that all these measures were because last week, he got a report that someone went Live on the platform to confess he was considering suicide. However, Zuckerberg said he and his team immediately reached out to law enforcement, and they were able to prevent him from hurting himself. He also said that in other cases, they weren’t so fortunate, adding that Quote “no one should be in this situation in the first place, but if they are, then we should build a safe community that gets them the help they need”.
