How can you select the right programming language for your IS project on a budget?

When selecting the right programming language for an IS project on a budget, I believe it's crucial to consider the project's specific requirements. Understanding factors like scalability, performance needs, and compatibility with existing systems is key. Additionally, I'd look into the availability of skilled developers for the chosen language and its associated costs. Open-source languages such as Python or JavaScript might be cost-effective due to their large communities and available libraries. Considering long-term maintenance and support costs would also be important in making a cost-effective choice that meets the project's needs.

Quick example: If you put a Ruby engineer in the same room as a C# engineer, they can talk for hours about all the same things. Even though they don't know the same language. Why? Because software architecture and principles are language agnostic, good software principles can be applied to all major languages. 90% of the time a company will code a project in languages according to their team's strength. If you have a team of 10 engineers with years of C# experience, you aren't going to ask them to write Python. If you are hiring a team from scratch then find some experienced engineers and follow their recommendation. Any of the most popular coding languages won't fail with the right team. Oh and please don't use PHP.

Select the right programming language for your IS project on a budget by consulting with customer on budget constraints, considering the language's ecosystem, community support, and compatibility with project requirements and use cases.

I would argue that this is the first point to consider. Unless you are writing something so specialised that there is a dominant language. Like if you are creating embedded or IOT you will have to use C or C++. If you are doing Android app development then you need Java. If you're doing web then the field is open. But to the point, you need to play to your teams strengths. Simple as that. It is safest to stick with things you know than try to experiment wildly with the latest best language. That will wind up with more technical debt. Learn to scale what you know.

Honestly, as a predominantly .Net engineer, I'm going to be biased here and say use .Net There's your answer to all the factors in this article ?? But jokes aside, .Net is a solid option. Why? .Net sees new versions with excellent improvements frequently and Microsoft is trusted. It's reliable, and open source, you can develop any kind of app and it's one of the best.

You should choose a language with a plethora of engineers readily available. Supply and demand. Don't try to develop your project using primarily Apex for Salesforce for example. Why? Aside from it's just a bad idea, there are so few highly experienced salesforce engineers it going to be expensive.

Em termos de linguagens mais atuais a IA ajuda consideravelmente, porque se estamos em dúvida em rela??o algum código, fun??o ou n?o sabemos quais usar, ela pode dar uma luz. Mas para linguagens menos utilizadas e mais legadas (em especial o Centura), ela n?o consegue tem resultados mais satisfatórios e precisos, fazendo com que a velha experiência humana se sobressaia. Mas como tudo evolui, a IA veio para ficar e acrescentar ainda mais em produtividade e gest?o do tempo.
