8 Most Popular Beginner Programming Languages

When dealing with programming languages, there are a multitude of new features, changes and features every year. There is a tendency for the following languages ​​to be learned quickly by beginners.

Best programming languages ​​for beginners

Python

Python It is an "open source language." Python still has a large following due to the wide range of applications as well as its ease of entry, although it is not a newcomer. However, Python is still listed and represented on the top list today.

This programming language can be learned relatively easily. He Python programming language It is mainly used in the area of ​​"Big Data" and in the area of ​​"Data Science".

The advantage of this programming language is its platform independence. It can be implemented and used with many operating systems. Python is a dynamic, interpreted and typed programming language. Therefore, it is also the case that this execution with Python code is very slow if a comparison is made here with compatible, static and typed programming languages ​​​​such as Java, Fortran or "C".

Apex

Apex is one of the 3 programming languages ​​used for Salesforce applications (cloud services applications). This programming language has a structure similar to Java and allows users, for example, to integrate execution options with different buttons or with different types of buttons in an application. Apex was designed for databases and business applications and works great here.

With Apex, you can use specific features of the Force platform. These include, for example, DML (Date Manipulation Language) calls, Saleforce Object Queries (Search Language – abbreviation SOSL) or call loops for bulk calls with multiple data records and API calls. This programming language is easy to learn. Apex also bundles various queries and DML calls within the Force.com service unit of work. 

The operation takes place entirely on the Force platform and is completely controlled from there. With somewhat inexperienced developers it may happen that marginal cases are not taken into account. These edge cases arise when a process changes and therefore there are problems with the function of the code. This can happen if individual developers do not agree with each other.

Powershell

Powershell is a object-oriented programming and scripting language for Windows with its own interface. With the help of Powershell programming language, tasks can be automated and tools developed. Powershell provides interactive command-time shells for Windows, but also for Linux and Mac systems. 

As a result, a large number of tasks in the system can be automated. This programming language is usually object-oriented. So, for example, all COM objects and the entire NET framework are available here. The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) can also be accessed and complete system information can be viewed here.

The advantage of the Powershell programming language is that it is not tied to a Powershell window. Therefore, this programming language can also run on several different devices simultaneously. This also makes it possible for multiple workflows to run in parallel and simultaneously. A major problem with Powershell arises when a Powershell script is run when the system reboots. The script must be run again here.

TypeScript

The TypScript programming language is based on JavaScript. TypScript is a ECAMSript implementation and therefore JavaScript is extended with other functions. All JavaScript code with TypScript works here too. The opposite is not the case. TypScript is typescript and also object-oriented.

Code developers are supported with the help of TypScript. This results in higher code quality, which is then also executed in a legacy JavaScript environment. Due to a static code analysis, it is possible here that the quality of the software can be increased even further. TypScript creates a kind of browser independence, especially for final web font projects. 

This means that the developer no longer has to worry about the browser in which certain FCAMSript functions are currently running. TypeScript has the advantage that, through strict writing, it allows the use of very efficient development tools. This greatly simplifies code refactoring. TypScript programming is supported by leading development environments (such as WebStorm, Eclipse, Visual Studio, Emacs or Sublime).

Kotlin

Kotlin is an object-oriented programming language that was published in 2011. That is why it is still a relatively young programming language. It has a variety of contemporary features and can be used for both web and Android. Kotlin can be transformed into JavaScript source code and translated into bytecode form for JVM (Java Virtual Machine).

Therefore, Kotlin has several advantages. This includes, for example, perfect compatibility with Java and runs on many systems. Kotlin allows seamless use of existing Java frameworks and their libraries. Kotlin is also suitable for programming server side applications.

HCL

HCL is a programming language used to develop control logic in a process architecture. It involves the linking of electronic circuits. Calculations of mathematical operations and storage of the corresponding data are important here. The main focus here is on Terraform Cloud Automation, in the area of ​​Devops and programmatic infrastructure.

Rust

Rust is a multi-paradigm systems programming language. The development was carried out by Mozilla Resaerch. Rust combines different approaches from other types of programming. This includes, for example, functional, object-oriented, and concurrent programming. Likewise, there is a high level of abstraction in Trust. 

This programming language contains, for example, algebraic data types, traces (comparable to Haskell type classes), pattern matching or closures. There is also support for RAII. The trust was designed in such a way that the costs of the abstractions remain very low relative to the execution time. Additionally, Rust is very reliable and works well.

Dart

Dart is a programming language standardized by ECMA. This was developed by Google and can also be used as an alternative to Javascript in web browsers. Development began in 2010 with a small team and the first working version will be released in November 2013.

Dart programs can run in both the browser and the server. This also applies to the associated application. The flutter available in Dart is also used as a library.

Conclusion

One or more new programming languages ​​are released every year, while languages ​​that have been around for years are slowly pushed aside. This rapid change and variety of programming languages ​​is also often a problem for beginners. It complicates the "correct" introduction and raises the question of "which programming language is best to start with."

In 2021, the languages ​​described above will be among the trendsetters in this area. But also the classics, such as Java, JavaScript or PHP, continue to have their important reason for being, since they cover a wide range of application areas and will continue to be used for a long time.
