Learning any programming for first time requires two things time and practice. It takes a lot time to master any language.

Without trash talk let’s find it.

Most wanted language by developer is Python and why not?

1) Python

Why Python?

Pros:

• Easy to learn
• Easy syntax
• Libraries
• Object oriented
• Open Source

Cons:

• Possibilities of having errors (even a wrong white space creates an indentation error)
• Weak for mobile application programming

Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn. No suffocating syntax. A well organised language.

Of Course, people want python. World is going towards Machine Learning and AI. And python is king for those Technology. 

Main strength is libraries. Python provides a large standard library which includes areas like internet protocols, string operations, web services tools and operating system interfaces. Many high use programming tasks have already been scripted into the standard library which reduces length of code to be written significantly. 

2) JavaScript

Pros:

• Easy to learn
• High speed
• Perfectly compatible with other languages
• Regular Updates 

Cons:

• Security

JavaScript is widely used in front-end. Like every website has JavaScript. HTML and CS are the bones and body of front-end but JavaScript is veins.

JavaScript is good for carrier as every website requires JavaScript. And a research says 80% of the company requires a candidate with JavaScript Knowledge. 

That's the reason this language is in trends for several years and will be for sure.

3) Kotlin 

Pros:

• Increase Team Efficiency 
• Compiles with existing Java Code
• Easily maintainable
• Less Buggy

Cons:

• Fluctuating compilation speed
• Still not Java (Java is JAVA)

Frankly speaking, leading tech companies like Uber and Atlassian had started using Kotlin for Android app development long before it was officially supported.

There are very few developers in kotlin and demand is high so its one of those languages to learn in 2020. Control the field before war.

4) Typescript

Pros:

• Object Oriented
• Feels more comfortable
• Used in Popular Frameworks

Cons:

• Needs Development Tooling
• Short Update Cycles
• Cannot easily be edited by Content Management System (CMS)

I personally love TypeScript. Its neat and clean also Object Oriented. Also Angular developers have officially picked it. And that says enough for us.

5) JAVA

>Pros:

• Object Oriented
• Security
• Platform Independent
• Stability and massive community

Cons:

• Slow
• Hard to learn
• Lengthy code
• Paid commercial license 

Yes, Paid commercial license, last year oracle announced that they will charging Java Standard Edition 8. to get all updated and bug fixes you'll need to pay.

Java is very secured languages. And it is still a popular choice of programmer. Strong old fellow. No one has every found a replacement. It also helpful in Android Application Development. And after all java is JAVA.

Conclusion:-

All the five languages will rock in 2020, no matter which language you pick. Every language is unique in its own way. Pick whichever you find comfortable.
