I want to learn new programming language.
Can anyone suggest what is interesting and trending lang.

If you learn trending languages, your skills will die with the trend.

For once I agree with @theabbie ... if you want to learn a new lang for the sake of improving your employability, you’re best off looking at what’s in demand in your area. I can’t give any pointers to that.

But if you want to learn a really good language to improve as a developer, I suggest Rust and/or F#.

That 👆🏻comment and I would suggest learning C#. No arguments for it. I’m learning it myself ATM.

@yehaaw 👍

@100110111 👍

Roll a 20 sided dice with languages on it, and start learning!

I think go is trending and is here to stay

@C0D4 ... I need to offer you a beer.

First find a new paradigm to learn and then select a random language specializing in that paradigm.

Or open some IT news site and scroll until you find an article hyping a language you don't know yet... if fashion is really that important to you.

Not a trending language, but I think learning "core" languages, without garbage collection and with strong typing (...) can build a good foundation for developing in general.

But I like the comments above about trying new paradigms (I personally still struggle with functional languages like f# and haskell)

What's your *motivation* for learning a language? If it's just for fun and you want to do something trendy, then sure, pick a trendy language for a laugh. If you want to pick a language that'll last, pick a language that'll be genuinely useful to you, pick a language that will make you more employable, or pick a language to learn a particular paradigm however - almost certainly not the way to do it.

I mean it depends on your goal doesn't it? I feel c++ is always really solid though. and java probably too

Scala opens up new worlds, is now trending, and will fetch you good money!

Go, Rust, F#, R, Erlang are a few others

For mainstream, C#, C++, Java, JavaScript

@A4Abhiraj I feel like JavaScript is only really useful if you wanna do web though?

@Tonnoman0909 nope. Those days are gone. Check node and deno.
Many companies are on node as backend. Do a quick google.
I myself work full stack, we use node at the backend and we have react native mobile app.

@A4Abhiraj oh damn. Is it handy to use JS for that kind of stuff? It sounds a bit unhandy to me

@Tonnoman0909 as I said, don't take it from me, but LinkedIn, Netflix, Uber are a few companies using NodeJs in production.
Ofcourse subsystems that use nodejs, they use multiple languages in multiple places.
The NodeJs threading model is still one of the fastest http server model.

Talking about type safety, you can use Typescript.
