Have you ever been confused by this question: Among the many programming languages, which one should I learn? Which language makes it easier to find a job? Which language pays more? If you have ever been confused about this, then please continue reading, maybe here is the answer you want.
First of all, we need to understand that choosing a programming language is not a decision made on the head. It requires a comprehensive consideration based on data, trends, and your own conditions. So, how to quantify this selection process? A simple but effective way is to check the number of positions on job boards.
When we focus on languages that make it easy for newbies to find jobs, we can pay special attention to positions that are geared toward novices, such as school recruitment positions. According to my statistics (although it didn't really take 300 years), C and Java have the largest number of novice positions. This means that for those new to the industry, learning C or Java may make it easier to find a job.
However, choosing a programming language is not just as simple as looking at the number of jobs. We also need to consider other factors, such as academic requirements. Some languages may require higher academic qualifications, while others are relatively friendly. By further analyzing the data, we can find that C++ and Java are both very good choices under comprehensive consideration.
Then, let’s look at salaries. According to Stack Overflow's annual survey, Go seems to have the highest salary. However, just because the salary is high doesn’t necessarily mean you should learn Go. Because salary is often closely related to factors such as education, experience, and skill depth. Therefore, when choosing a programming language, don't just focus on salary data, but also consider your own interests and abilities.
In addition, we also need to pay attention to the development trends of programming languages. Some languages may be popular now, but may gradually decline in the future; while some languages may be on the rise and have broad development prospects in the future. For example, the Go language may not have the largest number of positions, but its popularity continues to rise. For those with better academic qualifications and non-computer science majors, Go may be a choice worth considering.
Let’s talk about JavaScript. Although its absolute value is still very high, it shows a certain downward trend both in terms of the number of jobs and the popularity of Stack Overflow. This may be related to the development of AI technology and the maturity of website development tools. However, if you are already a programmer and want to further expand your capabilities, learning JavaScript is still very valuable. It is almost omnipotent and can be used for web front-end, back-end, mobile and even desktop development.
Finally, what I want to say is that choosing a programming language is not a simple matter. It requires us to comprehensively consider multiple factors, including the number of positions, academic requirements, salary and development trends, etc. More importantly, we must master the method of selection rather than just the conclusion. Because everyone's situation is different, the programming language that suits them is also different. Therefore, please be sure to make choices and decisions based on your actual situation.
