5 Best Programming Languages for Web Development in 2022

  1. JavaScript
    There is no doubt that JavaScript is the King of web development and probably the most popular language among web developers. It’s also the only language that allows you to create web applications, both frontend, and backend as well as mobile applications (React Native).
    The strength of Javascript is not just it can run on browser and server using Nodejs but also the awesome frameworks and libraries it has for web development and app development.
  2. Python
    Python is another language which has gained a lot of popularity in recent year. While it’s not exactly new and has passed the test of time, it’s probably the most versatile programming language at the moment.
    You can use Python for web development, Data Science, Scripting, and Automation. Similar to JavaScript, Python also enjoys huge community support and has a lot of useful frameworks, libraries, and tools that can help you create a web application in a quick time.
  3. TypeScript
    TypeScript is my personal favorite and a modern programming language for web development. Just like we have C and C++, TypeScript can be considered as JavaScript++ though it’s not as popular as C++.
    The good part of TypeScript is that it adds type-safety in JavaScript code which means you can catch nasty JavaScript type-related errors in the development phase.
    It also makes developing object-oriented code easy for JavaScript and several inbuilt debugging tools of TypeScript make web development really easy.
  4. PHP
    I may get a lot of flaks for including PHP in this list of best programming languages for web development in 2022 but to be honest, PHP is one of the best programming languages when it comes to creating web applications.
    It’s a dynamic, server-side scripting language that makes it really easy to create fully functional web applications. If that’s not enough, half of the internet is running on PHP’s shoulder, remember WordPress, the most popular web application software is made on PHP.
  5. Ruby
    Ruby is another programming language that is really great for web development. Similar to PHP and Python, Ruby is also easy to learn and goo for beginners.
    What makes Ruby special for web development is the Ruby on Rails framework which powers websites like Github, Shopify, Airbnb, Groupon, GoodReads, and Kickstarter.
