Essential Language to Learn for Programming Jobs in 2024 Revealed
So, what's the bottom line? Make sure you know Python. It's the star of the show. If you're skilled in languages like Python, SQL, HTML, Java, C++, and JavaScript, you're in the "opportunity zone" and well-positioned for your job search.
There's still demand for languages like Swift, C#, PHP, TypeScript, and Go, but it's more moderate. And if you know languages like shell scripting tools, Ruby, Kotlin, C, R, Rust, Lua, or Dart, they're in the "declining demand" category. You can list them on your resume if you know them, but don't spend time learning them unless it's for a specific job.
What's your take on language demand? Which languages do you code in, and what are your favorites? Drop a comment below and let me know.

¡Vaya, este artículo me ha dado una idea clara de qué lenguaje aprender en 2024! 😊 Aunque siempre es difícil predecir, saber cuáles son los más demandados para trabajos ayuda mucho. ¿Alguien más está pensando en cambiar de lenguaje o aprender uno nuevo este año?

This tool is super helpful for anyone looking to break into programming in 2024! It really pinpoints the languages that are in demand. However, it could use a bit more detail on why these languages are popular. Still, it's a great starting point for job seekers! 👍

¡Esta herramienta es súper útil para cualquiera que quiera entrar en la programación en 2024! Realmente identifica las lenguas que están en demanda. Sin embargo, podría incluir un poco más de detalle sobre por qué estas lenguas son populares. Aún así, es un gran punto de partida para los buscadores de empleo! 👍

2024년에 프로그래밍에 입문하려는 사람들에게 이 도구는 정말 유용해요! 수요가 많은 언어를 정확히 알려줘요. 다만, 왜 이 언어들이 인기 있는지에 대한 더 자세한 설명이 필요해요. 그래도 취업 준비를 시작하는 데는 최고예요! 👍

¡Es muy útil saber qué lenguajes de programación estarán en demanda en 2024! Me alegra haber encontrado esta herramienta. Es un poco abrumador con todos los datos, pero vale la pena para mantenerse a la vanguardia en el mercado laboral. Podría tener una interfaz más amigable, sin embargo. 🤓
