Java, C and Python Among Most Popular IoT Programming Languages

The Internet of Things is gaining momentum, spurred on by the promise of an improved 5G network and an increasingly connected society. For the six million developers working to develop devices to be integrated into the network, determining the programming language is vital.

Traditionally, hardware platforms drove the programming language for software applications, as they needed to communicate with the hardware itself. But platforms are not moving to open source standards, opening up the range of languages that can be used for the Internet of Things, or IoT devices.

And as hardware platforms – that is, the compatible hardware hosting a software application — moves to open source coding standards, this evolution has impacted programming language choices for the development of IoT devices.

“You’ll be able to choose from a language based on factors such as whether your enterprise dev team is already familiar with it, whether it works within the environment used by other components of the total IoT system, or whether it produces code that is smaller, more efficient, or more rapidly written than that of other options,” says Curtis FranklinOpens a new window
