When to use which language

Below are the points that influence the choice of programming language :

· The language must be fit-for-purpose. Normal business-application development can be done in Java or COBOL, but specialist applications might need C++ or some other language.

· The choice of platform is critical. It’s better to let the platform dictate the programming language, instead of letting the programming language dictate the platform.

· The skills of the programmers. Programmers are much more productive when they are working in a language that they know well, instead of working in a new language or on a new platform.

Factors to consider when selecting a programming language are:

   - The targeted platform
   - The elasticity of a language
   - The time to production
   - The performance
   - The support and community
