There are so many programming languages available to choose\nfrom when you start a startup based on digital service or product. Generally,\nthe final call must be made with consultation with the tech team. But once you\nknow the programming languages most of the startups are using, you can make a\nbetter choice. There must be reasons why most of the startups are opting for a\nparticular programming language. The following is the list of the programming\nlanguages startups are using. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Python –<\/strong> Python is the most preferred programming language among the startups. The reasons are its powerful environment, endless libraries, and scalability. Scalability is one of the most important factors in choosing a programming language for a startup. And there is no better programming language at present than Python in terms of scalability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Python, the development takes less time and therefore,\nideal for startups with a limited budget. It is robust and let you create\ninnovative stuff, and Django framework is a treat to work on. Starting from\nYouTube, Quora to Instagram and Spotify, all are done with Python as the main\nprogramming language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ruby –<\/strong> The next in the list is Ruby which is one of the popular choices for startups with heavy services and products. The development can be rapid on Ruby with a wide variety of libraries available. There is enough number of quality developers available, and the communities are extremely active and useful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is suitable for all such developments where active\nplanning and constant changes are a must. Besides, the framework Rails is\nextremely user-friendly, and it allows both front-end and back-end development\nin sync. That is why you will find big names like Github, Hulu and Living\nSocial using Ruby for their products and services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Node.js –<\/strong>Python is the first preference and Ruby is the dark horse while Node.js is surely the emerging programming language among startups. This is because Node.js is based on JavaScript except the fact that it is for the server-side. Therefore, on the client side, there can be JavaScript, and it will sync with Node.js perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Node.js development is more fluid than the rest\ntwo, and the cost of the developers is lower. If you consider the last year,\nthere are more startups come up that are based on Nodejs than Python or Ruby.\nAs a matter of fact, in a survey, it has been found that most of the successful\nstartups are using either of these three languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from these, the use of Java and PHP are significantly\nused. However, most of such startups have changed their technologies after\nbeing successful. Scala and Go are on the rise while Perl is becoming extinct.\nIt has been found that the quality companies are more likely to use functional\nprogramming languages like Go and Scala. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Front-End Programming Language –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is needless to say that HTML and CSS are always an\nessential part of front-end development. However, for the startups, Ruby of\nRails is the most preferred programming language for the front-end development.\nThe sole credit goes to Rails web framework. On the other hand, CSS is\ndominating over CSS3 quite surprising among startups. On the other hand, most\nof the top startups are still not using Bootstrap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, JavaScript is as essential as HTML and\nCSS and therefore, jQuery, and Angular JS are rampant for front-end technology.\nAdditionally, Backbone.js and Ember.js, as well as D3.js and ExpressJS, are on\nthe rise. Django is moderately popular, but it is CoffeeScript that is the\nemerging programming languages for front-end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Database and Others –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As far as the choice of database goes, MySQL is the leader.\nAll the startups doing okay, they have MySQL as their first preference. The\nsecond position goes to MongoDB which is more popular among successful\nstartups. Surprisingly, Cassandra as a database is quite popular among\nsuccessful startups. Redis is used for caching and Amazon S3 for storage. As\nfar as Big Data software goes, Hadoop is the first preference followed by Hive\nand Amazon Redshift. As far as advanced tech goes, Big Data is the co-topper\nalong with Machine Learning among startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are various factors on which the programming languages\nto use is determined by the startups. For the ones with a limited budget, PHP\nis the first preference with MySQL. There is always HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.\nBut if the budget is not a constraint, the startups are hiring the best\ndevelopers in Python or Ruby and using MongoDB and various premium tools and\ntechnologies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are so many programming languages available to choose from when you start a startup based on digital service or product.
