I chose the ranking of the following languages because of the following reasons:</p> <p>5 - Go: Created by Google; Cool name<br> 4 - Python: Easy entry; VERY flexible in usage<br> 3 - Java: Used for Android mobile app development. The majority of phones worldwide are Android phones; Makes sure you understand OOP!<br> 2 - PHP: Easy entry and a large segment of websites are PHP-based because of WordPress; Facebook created their own proprietary PHP for the platform.<br> And<br> 1 - JavaScript: One of the Holy Trinity (HTML/CSS/JS); Super fun to play with; Challenging but programmers bond around this; And Node JS! And AngularJS!</p> <p>Thanks for reading!</p> javascript php java python
