Programming Language Of The Future

2 pointsyogeshn2 comments

What is THE programming language that is going to be in big demand in the coming years?

IMO it will be ruby. Between the readability and "fun factor" involved in writing ruby and the robust web frameworks I see ruby dominating at least in the startup scene. Fast development and iterations without a lot of baggage.

Truth be told, i doubt there will be one language dominating anytime in the future. Thats the point of different languages, that they are good for different tasks. But as fast and general estimate I would say ruby in the startup community.

Why would there only be one?
