Java is present in almost 3 billion devices, and roughly 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies use it. Spring, Struts, and Hibernate all are Java-based famous frameworks. It is used in mobile applications, web development, system programming, and big data development.

C++

It is the pioneer of programming languages, and a sequel to C. Furthermore, it is a high-performance language used in developing performance-critical applications. Mobile apps, game development, and scripting – all rely on C++. Additionally, you can use frameworks and libraries like Wx-WidgetsGTK++, boost, and Qt. It was used to create Microsoft Windows and Google Chrome. Applications like Adobe Photoshop, Google Chromium, MapReduce, Mozilla Firefox, and MySQL database – all use it.
