Programming Languages - YAML

Programming languages are formal languages used to write instructions for computers to perform specific tasks. Various levels of languages exist, from high-level languages (Python, Java, C#, etc.) to low-level languages (assembly, machine code). As of 2025, Python maintains absolute popularity due to the AI/machine learning boom, while Java is widely used in enterprise systems and JavaScript dominates web development. Newer languages like Rust and Go are also gaining significant attention.
