C, C++, and Rust are not that easy, they force you to think about object lifetimes, dynamic allocations, etc. But even just in 3 categories, there are lots of differences and blurry decisions. If we consider the ease of use, and power of the implemented structures, the results will get more blurry. Until now, what have we learned? We compared the languages.

The Programming Language(s) of the Future

I like the conclusion that the best language to use depends on what you are trying to do. Have we considered that the search statistics for certain languages might be because the documentation sucks, so they have to search more than other languages?

Great article. Yes, not everything obvious here. For frontend we do not have any choice instead of Javascript (and their “syntactic sugars” like TypeScript, CoffeeScript or Clojure Script). For web backend I prefer to use Go today. For machine learning there are almost no ways to go except Python, however, I try to make ML on Go ;).
Want to finally find time to learn one or two of functional programming languages, like Clojure and Elixir. Ehh…

HTML is a programming language 😂 made my day

Reminds me of Peter Norvig’s article <a href="https://norvig.com/21-days.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years</a> where he advises people to learn “half a dozen” programming languages (with different paradigms) over ten years to become an (excellent) programmer.

As a novice, this article was incredibly illuminating for me.
Thanks for the objectivity too!
I would guess you lean toward rust if all things are relatively even, but you didn’t make it obvious.
Also, good job covering the elephant in the room ----
Devs’ self-interest(“laziness”) will be a deciding factor when comparing future viability of a language one is familiar with vs. a language one is less familiar with.
