Nigerian universities still dey teach FORTRAN till today, and you'll wonder why the country is still stagnant.

Maybe for historical purposes. Though long obsolete, That language is like the foundation of computing.

Precisely, although Articifial intelligence is also competing, Researchers have developed, A.I Capable of making software or doing the coding. There is that danger in the future that A.I will also compete with human coders, especially in very repeatitive codes, through creation of patterns.
GeoAfrikana:


Yes knowledge of Microsoft office is now ubiquitous. No, it hasn't become redundant.

Rather, it has become requisite knowledge that you're expected to have.

Same way programming is turning into requisite knowledge for many social science and engineering fields.

Today, the world has more data than traditional methods and tools like excel, SPSS etc can comfortably handle. This is what they call BIG DATA. And this data is coming at an undescribable fast rate than.

Tell me, how can you analyze 2 million rows of data with excel on your computer. Now imagine if the values of those two million rows keep changing every every hour. How can your typical tool handle that?

That's where programming comes in. As a statistician with programming skills, you can help your company automate the boring, redundant or even humanly-impossible tasks therefore helping them make guided decisions.

Programming is the future of any decision support system.

You're wrong sir.
Exactly, he's very wrong.

Google has a petabyte scale platform for analyzing satellite data. The platform uses JavaScript as it's major language. Although, thru had to create a Python API also because most researchers are more comfortable with python.

In all, computers will always need humans. It's just a matter of being at alert to changes in paradigm.

python is huge no doubt, but from first hand experience in a big corporate organization, python is as useless there as I mention.

business intelligences provided by Power BI and DAX in excel has rendered it useless.

for big Data and scientific data analysis, Oython can make sway there with TensorFlow, pandas and the likes.
Both are from differrent purposes then but pythpn is more flexible in terms of wrangling cleaning wait and every thing

Javascript and Python

Javascript is the only programming language that gives python a run for it's money.. Most programmers don't see javascript as a very good language but why I find javascript so impressive is cos it is the language of web browsers so demand for it will remain high for the foreseeable future!
The disadvantage is it can only be used in Web development.

Python on the other hand is the fastest growing programming language in the world....It is very flexible .The only disadvantage I see in Python is you can't use it for front-end web development or front-end app development..


Wrong.

JavaScript can be used in Web development (fronted and backend), Mobile app development with React Native, Desktop app development with Electronjs, Game development with Phaser, Data science with TensorFlow.js, Robotics and hardwares with Johnny-Five..

Programmer
Developer
Graphics expert and more
They will help you make perfect decision

yeah.



many people don't see web developers as programmers. annoying but it is what it is.



I have a friend from school who started programing because he was a game freak and decided to go on and create his own version of PES. that's the motivation.

the dude is part of the team who create the Lagos Bus ATM scan and pay device.



You right.

Fotran was my first cos it was a compulsory course in Engineering.....

Python was my 2nd.... I learnt it on my own after graduation.....

I tried Ruby at some point but didn't really take it serious....It's kinda similar to Python though....
