Python
Python is an interpreted, high-level programming language that supports multiple paradigm for example procedural, object oriented programming and functional programming, supports dynamic typing, third party packages making it easy to reuse code and functionality from external modules and packages.
JavaScript \ TypeScript
JavaScript is a dynamic language mostly used for client-side scripting in web development. Type Script is statically typed extension of Javascript with better performance and maintainability.
Java
Java is an object oriented and platform independent programming language that utilizes JVM (Java virtual machine) to enable java programs to run on various operating systems.
C++
C++ is an object oriented programming language that extends and enhances C language. C++ and C both are low-level compiled language that can used for device and/or operating system development.
Primary Use Cases
