New year, new programming language
Blog post from GitLab
In 2022, learning a new programming language remains a valuable goal for DevOps professionals aiming to enhance their skills, as highlighted by the DevOps Institute's Upskilling Report. Popular choices among developers include Python, JavaScript, and Go, according to Stack Overflow's 2021 Survey. While JavaScript is widely used, emerging languages such as Python, Go, Rust, Groovy, and Kotlin offer diverse opportunities for growth. Python is praised for its ease of learning and utility in websites, analytics, and DevOps, with resources like Python.org's tutorial available for beginners. Go is noted for its simplicity and is recommended for real-world applications like continuous integration, with GitLab's Brendan O'Leary planning to document his learning journey. Rust, known for producing secure code, has a dedicated fanbase and offers learning resources like The Rust Programming Language book. Groovy, suitable for automation and scripting alongside Java, and Kotlin, favored for data science and Android app development, provide additional avenues for exploration. For those interested in combining skills, a guide is available for using Python and Rust together in production environments with GitLab CI.
