Developers like to claim that one language is better than the other, but it’s not true. Every language serves a specific purpose and works a little differently, but it comes down to personal preference. What’s certainly true is that there are languages that are easier to pick up when you are just starting your coding journey, though. Some languages are easier to work with and more suited for certain tasks than others – but to say one language is superior wouldn’t be a fair statement. Not really. Every language has its own use cases.
A common question beginners ask is, “What is the best language to learn?” It’s a good question, but also a misguided one. No computer language is “better” than another, in the same way, that French is not “better” than Spanish. Just as the benefit of a spoken language depends on what country you are visiting; the benefit of a computer language depends on what you need to do. A better question to ask is, "Which programming language should I learn first?" If you want to be a great developer, you’ll need to master multiple languages.
The best approach is to start with the fundamentals. If you want to be a web developer, start with HTML and CSS, which are the foundational languages of the web. If you are more interested in general computer programming, focus on languages that have a lot of online documentation and tutorials to supplement your learning, and don't worry about the “best” language. As your learning progresses, the strengths and weaknesses of each language will reveal themselves. Once you graduate from a boot camp, or complete other required coursework and projects, it’s time to start interviewing for a job as a web developer. Here are a few more myths about this phase of your career transition.
This is one of the most common debate topics among newbies or experienced developers. You will find different opinions from different people. Most of the people suggest those languages which they love to use for their job, and they are comfortable to work with. The fact is there is no best programming language suitable for all the coding tasks. Choosing a language completely depends on what kind of project you are working on and what you want to do with it. It may change depending on your needs.
For example, Python is good for beginners to start with because it’s much more readable, flexible and simple for beginners. If you are looking for a faster language then C++ is the best choice. For interactive software JavaScript is better. So, it’s not a good choice to choose a language for your application just because of its popularity. If the language cannot fulfil your need for your current application, then there is no benefit of using it at all. In the end, remember that programming language is just a tool to solve a problem so instead of getting involved in a debate about which language is superior, focus on your problem solving, analytical skills and choose a language you are comfortable with to fulfil your application needs.
What you can do?
Acquire in-depth knowledge of the language used in your application.
Use your spare time to learn the fundamentals of other similar languages.
Read articles to increase your knowledge of comparison between multiple programming languages.
Don’t argue but listen to the arguments presented by others if they have hands-on experience with the language.
The idea is to enhance your knowledge from all possible sources. In the software development career, knowledge is your superpower (along with the right attitude).
