Programming languages have a fast evolution, as some of them come and go, others fall out of favor and new ones become more popular, covering the needs of each new era. Predicting the dominating programming languages of the upcoming decade can be tough, however, the ones that are currently rocking and will keep rocking in the near future have been detected by iTechScope.  

Below, we have outlined our selection with the top programming languages, based on current demand and short-term forecasting market insights. The following languages have been listed in an unranked way, thus allowing readers to explore and choose the ones fulfilling their purpose and needs.

• Scala

Scala combines object-oriented and functional programming that runs on JVM while it has synoptical and coherent syntax.

Scala is among the most popular languages that are being used for web and machine learning applications. 

• Rust

Rust is a statically typed, cross-platform language that can be used for free. It enables developers to work in various styles and provides memory safety. In addition, it has a coherent syntax while offering high speed and performance. Rust supports various applications including web and game development as well as network and system programming. 

• Swift

Swift is a relatively new language that is designed to be fast, safe and easier to read and learn. Therefore, it has quickly become the language that is used for iOS and macOS applications as well as for cloud-based application development.

• Golang
