This article analyzes the ten most popular languages in 2022, and there is always one suitable for you.
You can select suitable ones based on the introduction, or you can turn to the end to see my recommendations for different situations.
The programming language ranking TIOBE recently released a new form:
Without accident, python took the first place, squeezing C and Java down. In addition, it should be noted that SQL and PHP have been transposed.
Why do they stand out from more than 2500 programming languages?
Next, I will compare the advantages and disadvantages of these ten languages and rate them from the following aspects:
1. Ease of learning index: It is divided according to the degree of difficulty for beginners to learn the language for the first time.
2. Function index: divided according to the scope of application of programming language.
3. Salary index: divided according to the average salary of employees who have worked in the programming language
Note: The index evaluation standard of the full text is the highest and the lowest
Finally, at the end of the article, I will also give an analysis of the future trends of these ten languages and some suggestions for beginners.

1. C/C++: C generates everything and is the foundation of programming
C and C++are similar. Let's put them together.
Of course, there are differences between the two. When C programs are written large, it is inevitable to simulate object-oriented, while C++itself is not limited to object-oriented. Two pieces of code may be more intuitive:
C：
void qsort (void* base, sizet num, sizet size, int (*compar)(const void*,const void*)
C++:
template< class RandomIt > constexpr void sort( RandomIt first, RandomIt last );

Introduction:
It can be said that if you know C language, you know everything about programming language. Because almost all modern programming languages are derived from C, there is a vivid metaphor: if python is a building block, then C is like sand. The granularity of C is small. Although the development efficiency is lower, the operation efficiency is higher. Moreover, learning C and C++not only provides an introductory knowledge for programming, but also provides an introductory knowledge for the entire computer science. Even if you focus on other programming languages, the basic knowledge provided by C/C++is valuable.

Although the rankings of different languages are different, they do not have advantages or disadvantages, but their practicability in different fields is different.
As we all know, the daily business of our programmer inn is directly related to programmers, and we are exposed to a large number of development needs every day. According to the demand data of our company, we will briefly analyze the future trends of these languages, and give a reference to beginners and Xiaobai:
0. Python is still on the rise and has high learning value:
From the data point of view, Python is now in the dividend period, and the input-output ratio after learning Python is considerable;
1. C and Java remain strong and stable:
As a relatively traditional development language, it is still highly irreplaceable;
2. R language may be a dark horse in the future:
Both big data and artificial intelligence need to process a large amount of statistical data. R language is good at processing data.
Therefore, if you want to choose a language to start with:
If you want to learn programming to deal with some problems in work and improve productivity, then python is best for you. If you want to engage in web development in the future, JavaScript and PHP are both good. If you want to engage in software development in the future, you can try Java, C/C++and C #. If you want to work on operating system development in the future, C/C++is the most suitable. If you want to engage in data analysis, R and SQL are very efficient. If you want to engage in game development, then: Java is the top priority. If you want to engage in new professions such as artificial intelligence, python and R are both necessary languages.
As for which language to learn later, it depends on your career planning.
