In 2021, there were around 25.6 million software developers worldwide. Programming languages A programming language is a formal language that instruct a computer or computing device to perform certain tasks. Languages that software developers use to write code are called “high-level languages”; these can be complied into a “low-level language” which can be understood by the computer hardware. Programming languages that are most used by developers include JavaScript, HTML/CSS, SQL, and Python.
