What programming languages
do you know / use?
Part 1: Vocabulary booster
When it comes to programming languages the sky’s the limit. There
isn’t one best programming language as each language has its pros and
cons. But obviously, you always want to choose the most efficient and
appropriate one to get the job done.

1.How do you decide which language is the best for a particular situation
and then explain your choice to the client?
There are a few key points you need to focus on when you’re defending
your language choice.

➔ The first one is the speed of execution

(How fast can a programming language carry out instructions? Some
languages are slower or faster than others)

➔ The second one is complexity

(How many features and keywords does it have? Is it easy for someone to
learn this language from scratch?

➔ The third one is speed of iteration

(How easy is it to iterate using this language?)
evaluate/assess - estimate
_____ is one of the most popular languages currently in use. One of the
biggest strengths of _____is that it can be used for pretty much any
web development related task and it doesn’t require any particular
program or tool.
There are many other features this language has that make it
programmer-friendly and help save development time. ______ is cross
browser compatible and can be run in multiple browsers and it also has
a vast number of libraries and frameworks, some of the most often used
ones being Angular, React and Node.js.
In conclusion, ____ is a very versatile language that can help you
enhance the performance and speed of an application with much effort
or resources.
Java Script

JS is one of the most popular languages currently in use. One of the

biggest strengths of Java Script is that it can be used for pretty much any
web development related task and it doesn’t require any particular
program or tool.

In conclusion, JS is a very versatile language that can help you enhance
the performance and speed of an application with much effort or
resources.
____ is a very powerful language which can be used for numerous
purposes: from web development to machine learning. So what makes
this language stand out?
For one, ____ has a very efficient and simple syntax which allows the
developer to focus on creating faster and more reliable solutions. On top
of that, ____ has a large number of pre-built libraries (TensorFlow,
Scikit-Learn, Numpy, etc) which gives it a huge advantage over those
languages which are less maintained and less frequently updated.
____ can also be easily integrated with other languages and offers a
variety of tried and tested frameworks which can save you a lot of time
and effort.
Python

Python is a very powerful language which can be used for numerous

purposes: from web development to machine learning. So what makes
this language stand out? For one, Python has a very efficient and simple
syntax which allows the developer to focus on creating faster and more
reliable solutions. On top of that, Python has a large number of pre-built
libraries (TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn, Numpy, etc) which gives it a huge
advantage over those languages which are less maintained and less
frequently updated. Python can also be easily integrated with other
languages and offers a variety of tried and tested frameworks which can
save you a lot of time and effort.
This language is quite different from the previous two. It was developed
for complex back-end technologies such as distributed networks, cloud
computing and multi-threaded programming.
It’s a compiled language that solves the problems interpreted languages
won’t be able to solve such as getting rid of race condition issues and
supporting multiple programming paradigms. Some people call ____ a
more modern version of the C language. The two languages share many
similarities when it comes to syntax but ____ is much better at
supporting out-of-the-box concurrency. One of the biggest selling
points of ____ is that it lets the computer take full advantage of its
multiple cores and run numerous functions simultaneously.
Golang
