What are the best languages for web development?

The question is really broad and so opinionated. My champion for client-side development is Typescript. On the one hand, it allows to bee more productive due to static typing (in comparison to javascript). One the other hand it has a mature community. Also, it doesn't generate as much underlying javascript as Fable, Elm, etc which allow event more type safety. For the server-side I prefer F# due to mature .NET Core framework and functional defaults. Although the choice here is huge: js, C#, Java, Ruby, PHP, Go, Erlang. Literally, everything that is suitable for your specific needs.

If you are starting a project, I strongly recommend you Nodejs (Javascript) for Backend and for FrontEnd Jquery, React, Angular, and soo on, Everything is javascript, don't break your head.

There are many languages that can help you with web development. However; the clear answer, in my opinion, would be JavaScript because once you have learned this language you can use it on the server-side (Node.js) and client-side as well. So start learning JavaScript then after that learn some framework which interests you. Thanks. Cheers, Jin

Typescript is javascript, theres no way to code typescript without javascript they are the best friends so you can use classes in javascript, there are many options in this world. But nowadays Javascript is leading startups cause you can do frontend and backend same language ( also you can code Frontend with Typescript). But if you project needs super-fast responses from Backend, so choose another language more powerful like Golang or Java, if not go with nodejs.

You can see there is no surprise, JavaScript is the king of Web development but Python is equally good.
