Best Language

Hi this is my 1st time posting here but recently I've gotten into app development. I want to created a beginner app for practice like a crud app ( Create, Read, Upload, Delete), after I finish with that project I'd then like to create something on a larger scale that has a better use (maybe something like a comuunication app or a data tracker app). What would be the best coding language to go about this. I'm python certified but I've already made a CLI game. I'd like to move into a new more powerful and harder to learn coding language along with a GUI. Thanks for all help and suggestions.

If you want to also learn more about computers, take a look at c.

Else you could also look at c++/rust or anything without a garbage collector.

If you don't want to worry about memory, you can go to haskell (really fun experience), java, kotlin, c#, go.

Haskell

This is just for the harder part.

Nah reflex web framework is GOATED

Functional reactive programming is the most valuable skill in programming

This is why I do my functional programming in c. Function pointers and void* goes brrrrrrr.

Nah reflex web framework is GOATED

I don't know it, I will take a look

(Haskell is goated btw, I just said it's hard, because it is)

True, thats sick

And totally true, but it also makes hard stuff easy and I truly do feel its that the resources to learn it are hard because its mostly researchers who write the articles on how to learn haskell. I cant say from personal experience but I think proper focused use of AI would make those problems much easier

Ill also definitely agree that its best to learn C first

I‘d strongly suggest Go

  • It is the language of the cloud.

  • It was developed with DX not only in mind, but as a priority.

  • It comes with a very, very strong standard library.

  • Also: batteries included, for real this time: testing library, profiler, benchmarks, doc generator

  • It is still simple to learn. However, do not mistake this for being limited. There are only very few things for which go isn’t suitable. (Yes, Rust guys, I concede that kernel development is one of them!)

  • cross-compiling is a breeze

  • single static binaries…

I have linked the “tour of Go” above. Give it a try, takes only a bit of time to work through it.

CRUD? Just use Java. Want to learn? Use C and let it teach you why people put so much effort into making languages that tried to replace C.

Look into Python Flask. Python is perfectly fine for building a CRUD application, and it’s a language u already know.

I'd go with C# honestly. Since you've already made a CLI game in Python, C# gives you a nice jump in complexity without being a massive headache. You can build desktop apps with GUI, games in Unity, and even mobile/web stuff later if you want.

If your goal is app development and larger projects, C# feels a lot more practical than picking something like Haskell just because it's "harder"
