Python or Java? Which tech language will be most dominant in 2024?
In the current technological scenario, dominated by languages such as Python, Java, Javascript and C#, projections for 2024 indicate that Python will continue to stand out, driven by the significant expansion of Artificial Intelligence in the technology market.
Python maintained its leadership in the ranking of most used languages in 2023 and should continue to be a protagonist this year
According to the programming community’s TIOBE index, Python maintained its leadership in the ranking of most used languages in 2023, followed by C, C++, Java and C#.
“Of course, all this can change in a few months with the emergence of a new language and, therefore, it is important to always stay up to date with the latest developments”, explains Alexandre Previley, software factory consultant at Belago Technologies, a technology integrator that provides complete solutions for companies.
How did Python become so popular?
Python has become very popular for three main reasons:
Easy learning;
Ease of use;
Libraries related to Machine Learning and artificial intelligence, “fashionable” topics at the moment.
“The differences between Python and Java are many, including syntax, typing, performance, programming paradigms, community and ecosystem, and error handling. Both languages have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between Java and Python often depends on the specific context of the project, the requirements and the preferences of the development team”, comments Alexandre.
Teaching languages in higher education and distance learning courses. The academic world is one of those responsible for the evolution to connect more with the needs of the market. “In the past, people learned C and a little bit of Java in technology colleges, and a lot of time was invested in subjects disconnected from the market, a factor that has changed a lot over the years, with those interested starting to find higher education courses with Python and other more current languages in their grades in addition to related subjects”, explains the specialist.
Furthermore, distance technological learning platforms play a great role in covering the gaps left by academia in training professionals for the market.
“I really believe in acquiring knowledge through practice. My advice for anyone wanting to enter this field is to “code” (slang for coding, programming, writing source code). Choose a language relevant to the market, watch videos on renowned platforms and to practice, you can get involved with third sector initiatives, so, in addition to learning and meeting great professionals, you help the world”, says Previley.
The evolution of technology
Technology is evolving rapidly and programming languages play a key role in this advancement. In this context, both Java and Python languages are ready to help programmers face challenges and seize opportunities in the future.
The evolution of low code and no code platforms, which offer solutions that require little (low code) or no (no code) programming, could revolutionize the technology market in the coming years.
Given this scenario, it is possible to see more and more users in business areas learning programming logic to be able to operate solutions that tend to “manufacture” the source code, which can represent a paradigm shift around roles and responsibilities within the development cycle. software development.
