I've used C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, and Javascript.
I won't say it's the best programming language, but Javascript is my go-to for pretty much any programming project these days, because:
- It's lightweight: If you just want to write a script to a simple task, it's much easier than OOP languages like Java. I sometimes just open a terminal and type node to start an interactive shell to do simple text, date, array transformations on the fly.
- It's ubiquitous: You run Javascript on a browser, on a mobile app, in games, on your toaster...
- With Typescript, it can be a typed language which helps in very large projects.
One thing I find persistently annoying about Javascript:
- node modules: everytime I need to setup a JS project on another machine or container, something tends to to go wrong with the node modules...
Programming and web development is very popular right now, so I suggest you take a little dip into that and listen to what I have to say! I am a website developer, and thanks to amasty I discovered a great platform that helps me grow my business and I don't regret it one bit. Check it out too and then it will make it easier for you to grow in this field!
