""This is the first large-scale change we've seen in the top two languages since 2019 - and it speaks to the rise in Python that's accompanied the generative artificial intelligence boom we've seen over the past two years.""
""For a very long time in computer science, a lot of people who work in programming languages have had the ostensible goal of creating the 'one language to rule them all'.""
In the 2024 'State of the Octoverse' report by GitHub, Python has finally dethroned JavaScript as the most popular programming language after a decade. This shift indicates Python's rising prominence, especially in light of the generative AI boom spanning the past two years. Experts note that, despite this popularity, choosing a programming language is subjective and context-dependent. Different coding scenarios necessitate diverse tools and skills, emphasizing that there isn't a definitive 'best' language for everyone. Researchers are encouraged to consider their specific programming needs when selecting a language.
