The Evolution of Programming Languages.

Hey guys I'm back with an interesting topic , I thought everybody will enjoy this. Programming languages continue to evolve in both industry and research, as systems and applications change. Today there is a wide variety of programming languages with different languages, syntax, and features. Developers can now use a language based on either the client’s preference or their own. Language technology developed between 1967 and 1997, giving birth to some of the most popularly used programming languages even now. The swift growth of the internet in the mid-1990s was a major boost to the programming language world.

In 2010, these were the top programming languages.

Java and JavaScript were the clear favorites, with PHP just behind. C++, C, Python, and C# clustered just below.

In 2015, the popularity rankings had changed.

While Java and JavaScript remained at the top, Python had moved up to displace PHP for third place. The cluster just below became PHP, C#, C++, and C. Notably, R, a language for statistical computing, entered the top ten, reflecting the increasing importance of data analysis and data mining. Objective-C, a language for Apple platforms, was joined by Swift, a newer Apple language.

By 2019, the rankings had changed again.

Now Python is the most popular language, with JavaScript overtaking Java into second place. The rankings below the top three are no longer clustered: there is a clear preference order between C#, PHP, C++, and C. Swift and Objective-C fell behind R.
