For decades, software development has been built on a few dominant programming languages.

C and C++ powered operating systems, game engines, browsers, databases, embedded systems, and high-performance applications.

JavaScript became the language of the web.

Python became the language of artificial intelligence, automation, and data science.

Java and C# became the foundation of enterprise software.

But technology does not stay still.

The requirements of modern software are changing faster than ever.

Artificial intelligence is pushing computers to their limits. Cloud systems are becoming more distributed. Security concerns are increasing. Hardware architectures are evolving rapidly.

The programming languages that dominated the last 30 years were designed for a different era.
