5 Most Used Mobile App Development Languages Today

By now, you’ve understood that having a good business model is foremost, but the very way your business communicates and transacts holds equal weightage. ‘Volatile’ and ‘Complex’ seem relevant to describe the challenges being faced by the common man and businesses alike in recent times. As such, it becomes all the more important for businesses to remain absolutely relevant and available to its users, at all times. And the best way to do this is through an app. A mobile application for your business that handles a majority of your business front-end functions, all from a single icon on the user’s phone.

A clear vision and documentation of your expected new business avatar. A choice of development technology and team that not only supports the development but also maintains it. And the ability to propagate your business value better, based on the new structure are the primary concerns that a business has to be through prior to approaching a professional for a solution. For example the final scope of work revolves majorly around a particular skill, let’s say java. If so, you need to gauge if you should hire java developers yourself and put together an in-house team, or are there any additional benefits the vendor offers? Moreover, maybe there exists a better technology that promises better results. If your business is not much Android dependent, you may need to hire asp.net developers instead of Java ones. You need to be ready with basic details of your requirements to deal with such decisions in an informed manner.

Through this article, we detail the top 5 mobile app development technologies/platforms today. The purpose is to give you a perspective in your search for the fitting vendor for your business transformation.

Python: a general purpose, open source language, that is still majorly unexplored in capacity and application. Loved by many developers and businesses, it simplifies and expedites the entire process of mobile app development without losing on the flexibility. Known for its close to real time prototyping ability, Python offers many other advantages like the built-in debugger for seamless app development, GUI programming support while supporting multiple libraries and hosting platforms.

Known for its layered architecture that gives users the control over every single pixel on the screen, it also offers you to overlay and animate videos, graphics and texts without any framework inherent limitations. Powered by Dart and Skia (the hardware accelerated 2D graphics library that also supports Chrome and Android), Flutter is systematically fast, seamless and efficient.

Swift: Developed by Apple Inc, Swift is an open source, multi-paradigm and general purpose programming language that claims not only to easen the code writing process, but also to read and maintain the same. It combines super powerful pattern matching and type inference with a new age, lightweight syntax making the expression of complex business ideas simpler and clearer to the user. Moreover, Swift uses Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) – a garbage collector function that was a unique introduction to the iOS platform, reducing the memory footprint.

React Native: Developed by Meta Platforms Inc., React Native is an open source development platform that enables users to use native style capabilities along with the React Framework, making it extremely efficient. Using the in-house Flux compilation architecture, React seamlessly allows users to build codes in their native language and migrate to the React framework in real time.
