Programming Languages: Don't Bother Learning These in 2019
Codementor, a startup that connects developers with questions to developers with answers, has created a list of the worst programming languages to learn, based on community engagement, growth, and the job market. Last year, the company decided that Dart, Objective-C, CoffeeScript, Lua, and Erlang were the top five programming languages not worth learning.
This year, the company focused on which languages aspiring developers should not learn as a first programming language. For this reason, it excluded the top three most popular languages: JavaScript, Python, and Java.
The company's data suggests that languages not to bother learning this year are Elm, CoffeeScript, Erlang, and Perl. Kotlin, a popular language for building Android apps, rose from 18th place to 11th place on Codementor's worst-to-best list, while Dart was named the "most improved" language.
