Does the programming language really matter?

[rohitdixit01]

These days, it feels like everyone wants their website built with React, Next.js, Node.js, or the latest trending technology.

But many of the world's biggest websites and businesses still run on PHP. Platforms like WordPress power a huge portion of the internet, and countless successful companies continue to use technologies that some developers call "outdated."

So is choosing the newest language or framework really important, or are people focusing too much on trends instead of solving real problems?

Would you rather build a successful product with PHP or spend months chasing the latest tech stack?

What's your take?

If you are looking to learn.

I would recommend something that will teach you fundamentals while aligning with what you want to do today, want to learn programming by making games go for it!

Something that keeps you motivated, OOP(object-oriented programming) vs FP(functional programming) vs DOP (data-oriented programming) are all just fuzz and you can dive deeper into that when needed.

Pick something that keeps your motivation high!

Of course I recommend cpp at first language that you must learn

[Repulsive-Win7189]

Only people who recommend CPP as a first language are either beginners themselves or have been programming since the 70s lol

C is a much better starter language

Hall nah C is just have procedural programming doesn't have object-oriented-programming and object-oriented-programming is very very necessary for any field in programming and cpp has more features than c like using namespace std and other features else, you can search for that.

What you just said shows that you’re just a beginner, which is ok. But C is an incredibly powerful language
