What one language would you use for different applications? Can they all do everything, or is it better to learn different ones for different tasks? #student

Thank you comment icon To what tasks are you referring? Francisco's answer above is assuming that you are referring to computer languages. However, if you are referring to languages that are useful in healthcare, then I would say Spanish LOL. Michelle McNamara, MD

Francisco’s Answer

Hi Gianmarco!

I am assuming you are referring to programming languages. It often depends on the application which language is the best. In my experience C++ is a very common approachable language that is used across multiple platforms, but Python seems to be popular as well, being the main type of language on newer Industry 4.0 applications like machine learning. Overall I'd suggest you look into the specific area you want to focus on and get acquainted with the language most used for that. Alternatively, focus on a generic language like C++ that may translate well to other languages such that you at least got good basics to learn others in the future.

I'm not an expert, but hope this helps. Good luck!

M’s Answer

Hi Gianmarco! This definitely depends on what you want to do down the line. If you are looking to go more into data analytics I would suggest Python. Python overall is a great language to learn right now in my opinion. However if you're looking to work as a software engineer, I would actually recommend learning C++. There are great opportunities with both and once you really grasp the concept of one language it is a little easier to learn another. Good luck and hope this helps!
