Programming languages and frameworks to learn in 2017

10 points by meerita 10y ago

I can't make a poll on HN, but I would like everyone to contribute with an opinion. Which languages are worth to devote learning in 2015? Both for beginners and experts. And what about the new frameworks? Please, be patient and open :)

Vue: Easy frontend, I'm still learning this one a bit right now. Phoenix: Good one if you need lots of concurrency especially for an uptime bot, or a chat service or similar style app. This one's on my to do list. Laravel (is a very profitable one php is everywhere and has good integration w/ Vue). This is my bread and butter, and I really enjoy using laravel and would recommend it to anyone.

I would like to look further into Go and Elixir/Erland

plain javascript. I decided that until I learn plain js well, I would not bother anymore with the frameworks.

Of coure this depends on what you are trying to do, but here are some general things to know in computing: Beginner or Advanced: Python - Django, Flask Javascript - the language of the web HTML&CSS (Not languages)

If you are looking for mathematics & statistics: Python(numpy/scipy) & R are perfect for starting (and open source!).

In 2016, I picked JavaScript, Linux, and Emacs. Somehow, despite seemingly learning a great deal, I failed to finish learning all about any of them.

Elixir (and Phoenix after that) -> get into a non-intimidating language on the Erlang VM. I think this may be harder for me because of lack of project ideas but it is still on my list Nemerle -> it is a "dead" language on .NET but it still has some cool features Electron -> I'm not good at HTML/CSS nor nodejs/javascript so being able to do both while creating a desktop app (which is my platform of choice) is really enticing to me

Purescript: probably the best typed language compiled to JS :-) has great book to come along with it, and takes the best haskell ideas and cleans them up :-) https://leanpub.com/purescript/read https://leanpub.com/purescript/read
