Compiler VS. Interpreter
Well, there are several points that make a significant difference between compiler and interpreter. First and foremost, the compiler can execute a whole program at a time whereas the interpreter does this line-to-line. As a result time complexity of the compiler is considerably low compared to the interpreter. However, the compiler creates an object file that occupies more memory than an interpreter. For an instance languages such as C, C++ and JAVA are depend on the compiler while, Java Script, Matlab, and Pearl are interpreted base languages.
A Programming paradigm
A programming paradigm is a method to solve complex programming problems with different approaches, tools, or techniques. Mainly, this paradigm can be derived in two main categories which are imperative and declarative programming paradigms. Although both paradigms have their pros and cons, the majority of programming languages nowadays use more than one paradigm to increase their usability. Beloved programming languages will show different programming paradigms.
1.JAVA
One of the most powerful programming languages is class-based, object-oriented programming language name JAVA which was founded by James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton only for interactive, however in 1991, it was to advance for the television industry and the fun fact is that in the initial stages it was known as OAK after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling’s office. Finally, in 1996 Sun microsystems launched it. Television Java is hybrid of compiler and interpreter for which, the first
source code gets compiled into a binary bytecode and which runs on a software-based interpreter called java virtual machine. Additionally, java is multi-paradigm: generic, object-oriented (class-based), functional, imperative, reflective, concurrent, and real-life applications of java are Oracle servers, Maestro Mars Rover controller, and NASA WorldWind.
2.PYTHON
Second on the list is none other than Python, which was written by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands in the late 80s not only that python is the combination of Object-Oriented programming, Procedure Oriented Programming, and Functional programming paradigms also source code gets executed on python virtual machine after being converted into bytecode by an interpreter. Further, due to its wide range of libraries which allows users almost in each and every field like NASA WorldWind, Maestro Mars Rover controller, JMARS and JMoon are only a few to mention.
3.C#
Moreover, currently, a simple yet modern and general-purpose object-oriented programming language with considerable robustness, durability, and productivity is C Sharp or C#. Basically, at the end of the 20th century, a team under Anders Hejlsberg at Microsoft started to form a new language using the .Net framework and named it APS.net which after 2000, was declared as C#. Over and above that it has a partial interpreter and compiler using a Just-in-time compiler (JIT). Because of its object-oriented paradigm, it increases the productivity of developers to a large extent like OpenDental, Visual Studio, NMath, KeePass, and many more.
4.PHP
Next in our list today is one of the easiest web development general-purpose scripting languages which can be used to develop dynamic and interactive websites, and it is PHP or PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Originally, it was used to describe it as Personal Home Page, developed in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf when he started to write some common gateway interface using C pages for his personal home page, which eventually ended up creating a PHP scripting language. In addition, PHP is an interpreter-based language that can also be compiled by any third-party tool; on top of that the programming paradigm it’s been is multi-paradigm: imperative, functional, object-oriented, procedural, reflective. Although it’s too easy to build websites nowadays with many tools with zero programming knowledge, one of the greatest social media apps Facebook was built on PHP also other famous sites like Wikipedia, slack, and so forth.
5.RUBY
Last but not the least, if you know Airbnb, GitHub, Slideshare, or Shopify then the one thing that is common in all of these applications is, all of them are created using a Ruby programming language. On account of its procedural, object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming paradigm and IIRC compiler which gives efficiency and capacity of executing the power of the program. Finally, it was created in the 1990s by Yukihiro Matsumoto or “Matz” in Japan; as Matz mentioned, it was derived from Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, and Lips, which not only makes it more compact easily to learn and understand.
SUMMARY
The compiler and Interpreter both have their respective pros and cons.
Programming Paradigm is a technique that is responsable for the classification of different programming languages.
Java is the most preferable language worldwide because of some obvious reasons such as being platform-independent, it is an object-oriented language, etc.
Python has a great variety of applications in modern technology such as AI, Big data, and machine learning because of its wide range of libraries.
C# is the most famous language for gaming development. Many world-class games like PUBG have been made by using a platform such as unity.
Ruby can handle a huge amount of data which makes it one of the most popular languages for web applications.
