Data backup, disaster recovery, software development, testing, big data analytics, and many other purposes can be handled by cloud computing. By 2025, the global cloud computing market is predicted to reach $371.4 billion and $832.1 billion. How can cloud computing benefit your business? Let’s find out more about the top languages.
An overview of cloud computing
Cloud computing refers to a method of accessing shared computing resources, including servers, storage, networks, applications, and more, through the use of internet connections. Cloud providers do not need to provide additional assistance for users to use and manage resources.
Cloud Computing Features:
- Self-service on demand
- Access to broadband networks
- The pooling of resources
- Flexible at a rapid pace
- Service that is measured and monitored
Languages most commonly used in cloud computing
- Java
Developers can create large, flexible, scalable, and extensible applications using Java, an object-oriented language. Using this language, you can create software for a variety of devices, such as computers, tablets, smartphones, and even household appliances. It supports polymorphism, inheritance, and static typing. Today, Java is one of the most popular and widespread programming languages, developed by Sun Microsystems in 1995.
- PHP
In 1994, Rasmus Lerdorf created PHP or Hypertext Preprocessor. According to W3Tech, PHP is used by almost 80% of all websites. It is compatible with all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux).
- Python
In 1991, Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer, developed and created Python. The versatility of this script-based language distinguishes it from other programming languages. Its applications today include machine learning, web development, parsing, and others. Most platforms and operating systems support the Python interpreter, which is one of its main advantages.
- Golang
Google’s Golang programming language was developed in 2009 and is compiled and multithreaded. Developers can use its code and compiler for free as an open-source project. Using Go, developers can create software that runs on multiple operating systems. Various types of apps can be created using this language.
- Ruby
Developed in 1995 by Yukihiro Matsumoto, Ruby is a dynamic, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. Rails, a.k.a. Ruby on Rails, is an open-source web framework used in web development. It ranks fourth among the most popular frameworks, according to Hotframeworks. Integrating databases, migrating data, and creating views are some of its innovative features.
- JavaScript
There is no doubt that JavaScript is the most popular programming language for web applications. It can be used for creating dynamically updated content, animating images, manipulating media, and much more. Originally, it was designed to bring life to web pages. HTML/CSS is fully integrated and supported by all major browsers and platforms.
- Node.js
In 2009, Node.js was released as a server-side development framework for JavaScript. Google Chrome uses its V8 JavaScript engine. Linux, macOS, and Windows all support it. It is cross-platform and open-source and can process many requests simultaneously.
- NET
The ASP.NET web application development framework is part of the .NET technology developed by Microsoft. Programmers can create dynamic HTML pages with it. In addition to C# and Visual Basic, ASP.NET also supports J# and Visual Basic. The majority of software developed with it is for internal use.
