Answer to Question #5775 in Programming & Computer Science for khayam

Question

what language do people use now to develop a computer software?

Answer 1

People use different computer languages for software developing. It is very difficult to determine what are the most popular of modern programming languages. Some languages are very popular for particular kinds of applications (e.g., COBOL is still strong in the corporate data center, often on large mainframes, FORTRAN in engineering applications, scripting languages (PHP, Perl) in web development, and C in embedded applications), while some languages are regularly used to write many different kinds of applications. Also many applications use a mix of several languages in their construction and use. Combining and averaging information from various internet sites, langpop.com claims that [7] in 2008 the 10 most cited programming languages are (in alphabetical order): C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and SQL.
