Novice developers and professional developers alike want to program in the best programming language. And, it is desirable that it also be popular, because it is for the popular programming language that various libraries will be released, shells will be created and improved. Let's try to consider the most popular programming languages at the end of 2013 and write a short description for each of them.
1.C (progenitor of C ++, C #)
The first place in the ranking is taken, not surprisingly, by the C language, developed about 40 years ago.

The C language provides a lot of possibilities and functions, it is very flexible and functional, for which developers love it. C has created a whole family of languages, including C ++, C #, C-Sharp, Objective-C, and many other languages.

This relatively recently created language (the first version was created in 1995) was previously developed by Sun Microsystems, but now the development has passed to Oracle.

The peculiarity of the language is its ability to work on any platform in the presence of a Java machine.
3. Objective-C
Closes the top three most popular programming languages Objective-C. It is a language for writing programs for the IPhone and iPad, as well as for Mac computers. Of course, the main focus is on the first two devices, because Apple computers are not as popular now as their mobile gadgets. This programming language is object-oriented, with the help of it you can easily create any application you need, although it is noted for its complex syntax and punctuation compared to other languages.
