My Top 5 Languages for Web Development

Introduction

The world of web development is constantly evolving, with new technologies and programming languages emerging regularly. Staying up-to-date with the latest trends is essential for staying competitive in this field. Here are the top 5 programming languages to consider for web development in 2024:

1. JavaScript - React, Nodejs

JavaScript remains the undisputed king of web development. It's used for both front-end and back-end development, making it a versatile language to learn. With frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js, JavaScript has become even more powerful for building dynamic and interactive web applications.

2. Python - Django

Python's simplicity and readability make it a popular choice for both beginners and experienced developers. It's widely used in data science, machine learning, and web development. Frameworks like Django and Flask provide powerful tools for building web applications quickly and efficiently.

3. Java - Spring boot

Its platform independence, object-oriented programming capabilities, and rich ecosystem of frameworks and tools contribute to its popularity. While other languages have gained traction, Java's proven track record and continued development ensure its relevance in the web development landscape.

4. Go - Gin

Go, also known as Golang, is a relatively new programming language developed by Google. It's designed to be efficient, reliable, and easy to learn. Go is becoming increasingly popular for building scalable and high-performance web applications.

5. TypeScript - React, Deno

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. This can help catch errors early in the development process and improve code maintainability. TypeScript is becoming increasingly popular, especially for large-scale projects.

Currently using go and javascript/typescript.
In my college time i used PHP a little bit. then introduced to javascript. In Parallel, went through python(but didn't try it)
Created a backed API using JAVA, but didnt interest me more than javascript & go.

PHP shd be in this list instead of typescript. Laravel is getting more attention than before.

Java and C# are far more prevalent than some of the above.
