So, I wanted to do something different today. I got this idea to mess around with classifying stuff into two groups – “stars” and “rookies”. Sounds simple, right? Well, it turned into a bit of an adventure, and I figured I’d share the whole process, bumps and all.

Stars and Rookies: Can You Spot the Difference? Learn How to Identify Them

Getting Started

First things first, I needed something to classify. I decided to go with a list of items that are about programming languages. Then, I had to figure out what makes a “star” and what makes a “rookie”. This took some thinking. I mean, what really separates the big shots from the newcomers? I jotted down some ideas, played around with different criteria – like popularity, ease of use, how long they’ve been around, stuff like that.

The Process

I started to classify those programming languages, and this is what I did:

  • Python – Definitely a star. It’s like the popular kid in school that everyone wants to be friends with. Super versatile and beginner-friendly.
  • JavaScript – Another star. It’s everywhere on the web, and you can’t really avoid it if you’re into web development.
  • Go – A rookie, it is getting more and more popular.
  • Rust – I put it as a rookie. Because it is difficult to learn for most of us.
  • Java – A star, without a doubt. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. A solid choice for many enterprise solutions.
  • C++ – Also a star. Old but gold. Powerful and used in game development, operating systems, you name it.
  • C# – A star. Popular in game development because of Unity.
  • Kotlin – A rookie. It’s like Java’s younger sibling that’s trying to make a name for itself. Especially popular for Android development.
  • Swift – Rookie, but quickly gaining traction. Apple’s favorite for iOS and macOS development, so it’s got a bright future.
  • TypeScript – Rookie. JavaScript but with types. It’s becoming increasingly popular for larger projects.
  • PHP – Star. Old school but still relevant. Powers a large chunk of the web.
  • Ruby – Star. Known for its elegant syntax. Ruby on Rails was a big deal and still is for many.

The Result

After all this, I have this list of programming languages, split into two categories. It’s not perfect, and I’m sure not everyone will agree with my choices. But hey, it was a fun experiment, and it got me thinking more about what makes certain programming languages stand out. I guess the big takeaway here is that everything has its place. Whether it’s a star or a rookie, each programming language has its strengths and weaknesses. It’s all about finding the right tool for the job. And sometimes, just messing around and trying things out can lead to some pretty interesting insights.
