The combination of JavaScript-based technologies of which MEAN stack is made of, are best for web development and also getting support from the leading tech companies like- Amazon, Google and pretty more.
3) Python:
Python is great for novice learners for back-end development as its syntax is easy. It thrusts upon good programming style and indentation, so programmers need to be vivid when they organize loops, conditions or implement logic. The easy to learn and code, make this language popular among beginners and in the education realm.
