3. C/C++

C/C++ is the backbone of all the programming languages. It helps to get intense knowledge about how software application works. Operating systems, file systems etc all these low-level systems are written in C/C++. Standard Template Library- STL, is a library function that provides various data structures , arithmetic operations and algorithms in C/C++. Due to its high-end performance, reliability and variety of context, it is still very popular programming language. For a system level programmer C/C++ is the language to learn.

For the beginner developers it is a good option to learn Python.

5. TypeScript

TypeScript is an open-source programming language designed to develop extensive level of JavaScript applications. TypeScript use to develop hybrid mobile applications and it is a good preference for front-end and back-end development also. This programming language also use to design neural networks and to build architect cloud solutions. A range of reputed brands like Google and others use TypeScript for front end development framework.

6. PHP
