Which Are The Most Loved and Most Hated Programming Languages

Which Are The Most Loved and Most Hated Programming Languages | 2017

Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2017 gives us a pretty good idea of the current state of programming languages and developers. According to this year’s results, Rust is the most loved programming language, followed by Smalltalk and TypeScript. On the most dreaded/hated front, Visual Basic continues to reign.

Last week, Stack Overflow released its much anticipated annual developer survey. This popular online community of programmers releases this survey each year and provides a pretty good idea of the latest programming trends and the preferences of the programmers.

Developer Survey 2017 was Stack Overflow’s biggest yet as it covered about 64,000 developers. In my previous article, I talked about the popularity of different programming languages, libraries, frameworks, and databases. JavaScript topped the list of the languages for the fifth time in a row.

In this article, I’ll be telling you about the most loved and most hated programming languages. It should be noted that Stack Overflow 2017 survey lists the Most Dreaded languages and I’ve taken the liberty to call those the Most Hated languages.

25 Most Loved Programming Languages

In last year’s survey, Rust programming language ruled this list. Interestingly, Rust continues to do so even in 2017. Rust is followed by Smalltalk and TypeScript. This ranking is a clear signal that compared to other languages, the developers are most willing to work (or continue working) with Swift.

Last year, Apple’s open source programming language Swift took the #2 spot. Well, this year, Swift has slipped to #4. It doesn’t mean Swift’s popularity is declining. The language ranked well on this year’s popularity charts and its demand is growing.

Here’s the list of top 25 most loved programming languages:

Rust
Smalltalk
TypeScript
Swift
Go
Python
Elixir
C#
Scala
Clojure
JavaScript
F#
Haskell
SQL
C++
Julia
Java
R
Ruby
C
PHP
Erlang
Dart
Common Lisp
Groovy

25 Most Hated/Dreaded Programming Languages

Just like the last year’s results, this year, Visual Basic was again listed as the most dreaded programming language. Just in case you’re wondering what’s the meaning of most dreaded, it shows that a high percentage of developers who’re currently using the technology aren’t interested in continuing to do so.

Visual Basic was followed by VBA, CoffeeScript, VB.NET, and Matlab.

Here are the top 25 most hated/dreaded languages:

Visual Basic 6
VBA
CoffeeScript
VB.NET
Matlab
Objective-C
Assembly
Perl
Lua
Hack
Groovy
Common Lisp
Dart
Erland
PHP
C
Ruby
R
Java
Julia
C++
SQL
Haskell
F#
JavaScript

Ambode’s Michael Jackson syndrome

GOVERNOR Akinwunmi Ambode’s urban renewal policy is fundamentally flawed. For one, it strives to recast a Nigerian city in Parisian or Washingtonian mold. Secondly, it fails to realise that Lagos does not have to look like Paris, New York or Washington DC to be a beautiful, functional and livable city. A city is not just an agglomeration of buildings, streets and public spaces cobbled together by architectural, engineering and urban planning standards. A city captures, encapsulates and expresses the totality of a people’s way of life. Not surprisingly, Western European cities have a similar character, a character that is different from (for example) Asian cities.

Is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild the best-designed game ever?

You wake up, it’s dark and you’re lying in a pool. You don’t remember how you got here. You stand up, stretch your aching limbs, walk towards the exit and out into the brilliant sunshine. As your eyes adjust to the light, the world comes slowly into focus – and it is
