Programming Languages

Java

Sun's enterprise language. JVM and garbage collection. Verbose but explicit. Android's original language.

C++

Bjarne's C with classes evolved into complex powerhouse. Template metaprogramming and modern features.

C

Dennis Ritchie's portable assembler. Unix and OS foundation. Simple core, powerful abstractions.

Rust

Mozilla's safe systems language. Borrow checker prevents memory errors. C++ replacement without garbage collection.

JavaScript

Brendan Eich's 10-day creation became web language. V8 engine made it fast. Node brought it server-side.

Python

Guido's readable language conquered data science and scripting. Whitespace significance and gentle learning curve.
