What Trends Are Shaping The Programming Language Market?
Prominent players in the programming languages sector are prioritizing the creation of innovative languages, including open-source programming languages. These developments are designed to cater to the changing demands of both developers and businesses, encourage cooperation within developer circles, and promote progress in software development methodologies. Open-source programming languages provide accessible source code that anyone can freely use, adapt, and share. An example of this is when Apple Inc., a leading technology firm based in the US, released an open-source programming language called Pickle (Pkl) in February 2024. Pkl was crafted to be an embeddable configuration language, easing tasks varying in size, simplicity, regularity and complexity. Noteworthy, Pkl enhances its compatibility with widely recognized config formats like JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Ain't Markup Language (YAML). This provides an emphasis on safety, scalability, and smooth coding experiences by incorporating strong validation, adaptable scalability, and pairing with top IDEs.
