TypeScript

As a superset of JavaScript, TypeScript adds static typing, making it easier to catch errors early in the development process. Most of the companies that utilize javascript in their tech stack will always prefer some type safety in their codebase so yeah Ts is a must.

There are even more features in TypeScript such as Generics, interfaces and more.

One more reason to work with Ts is that it works very smoothly with popular frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js, etc.

So if you are a javascript developer or if you are in the JavaScript ecosystem and want to build scalable applications then it's a must.

Golang

Go's built-in concurrency features make it excellent for developing scalable, high-performance network applications and microservices.

As cloud computing continues to dominate, Go's lightweight nature and fast compilation times make it ideal for containerized applications and serverless functions.

So if you are interested in develoing high performant and scalable applications then Go is a must to checkout.

Python

Python remains the go-to language for AI and ML development, with libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn and more.

Python is still a very popular choice for many things related to AI, web development, automation tasks and scripting in DevOps and more.

So in the future we will see Python's ecosystem grow even more.

Definitely worth exploring!

Zig

Less known compared to others, but Zig is still gaining attention. It's a general-purpose programming language.

Main reasons why you should explore Zig:

  1. Provides a C-like performance and control, but with modern language features and improved safety.

  2. Ability to interact with C directly. You can just call C code from it, and apparently vice versa.

  3. Built-in cross-compilation capabilities make it excellent for developing software that needs to run on multiple platforms.

  4. A good alternative for those who don't want to mess their heads in Rust.

  5. A library written in Zig is eligible can be used everywhere such as Desktop applications, Low latency servers, Operating System kernels, etc.

  6. Very high performing language that is used in applications like Bun.js, Low level Trading platforms, etc.

  7. Better memory safety compared to C.
