Why do some computer programs require more than one programmer?
Usually, it is because different parts of the program can be more easily expressed in the different languages. Sometimes the choice is so extreme as to be almost forced. Device drivers are almost always written in C.
What is the main reason of having many versions of a programming language?
To sum it up, the main reason why there are many programming languages out there is that different problems require different tools to solve them. Each programming language has certain features and characteristics that make it suitable for specific tasks.
Can you learn more than one programming language?
Knowing multiple programming languages is known as being a polyglot programmer, and polyglot programmers have far more opportunities than programmers who only know a single language. There are a few skills you’ll need to learn at the same time: syntax, programming language constructs, and problem solving ability.
Do you think that a professional programmer needs to know more than one programming language?
Even with just knowing only one language, you can still be considered a great developer. Being a great developer has nothing to do with how many languages you know. The thing that matters is what you build. By knowing only one language, you can spend more time building.
Why use multiple programming languages in a project?
Reason 1, the cost benefits of reuse, has become an increasingly powerful reason to allow the use of multiple languages in a project due both to the greater role of open source software and improved capabilities to find the right code components on the web.
How do good programmers choose which programming languages to use?
Good programmers choose when to use High-level language and when a Low-level language is better. For example, I have a software called Iris which needs to interact with the system and at times needs to invoke C++ APIs from the OS. I also needed this software to be good looking and work on all operating systems.
How many lines of code does a programmer produce per month?
Programmers produce 325-750 lines of code per month (that make it to the customer). The choice of programming language doesn’t influence that number. How does that play out in real life?
Why is it so hard to understand programming languages?
The short answer, to paraphrase Edsger Dijkstra, is that software is complex and our brains are too small to understand more than a small part of it at one time. In a high-level language, you can say a lot of stuff with only a few lines of code.
