The Evolution of Programming Languages & Why It Matters In Your Business

Jesse White

One thing I’ve noticed in my career is that technology moves fast. I still remember my introductory college work and particular lesson on Moore’s Law.

Moving from a physical perspective into a virtual one, a recent Visual Capitalist report really struck a chord with me. This single graphic displayed how programming languages have shifted over the past decade—Python is now king, JavaScript remains dominant, and emerging languages like Go and Rust are on the rise.

But really, why should your business care?

  • Think Like An Adversary – As widely used languages like JavaScript and Python power critical business applications, they also become prime targets for cyber threats. Ensuring secure coding practices and regular updates being key components to protecting your data.
  • Don’t Go Stale – Whether you rely on custom applications or SaaS platforms, the programming languages behind them determine performance, security, and longevity. Staying on modern tech stacks ensures scalability and innovation.
  • AI & Automation – Python’s dominance aligns with the AI revolution. If your business is exploring automation, predictive analytics, or AI-driven insights, you’re likely leveraging Python-powered tools. Sign up for our Copilot Workshop here! 
  • Tech Debt – Outdated systems relying on legacy programming languages (like COBOL or outdated Java versions) may hold your business back. Modernizing IT infrastructure ensures better security, efficiency, and agility.
