Some of these tend to be applied just for specific domains while others are widely appreciated for their ability to be able to work in a wide range of applications. During the past decade, there has been an almost steady growth in the application of software and new languages have been developed in order to meet the demand. In this article, we are going to explore some of the most currently used programming languages and potential new stars in the ambit of Data Science and Cloud Development.<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"97fb\">Deciding to learn a relatively new programming language in our spare time can at times be a risky investment of our time since we can\u2019t be sure of how this new language will be perceived by the job market in the next few years. On the other hand, newer programming languages have in most cases been carefully designed in order to make the most out of the recent advancements of technology, therefore potentially giving us an edge in the long run.
