From the very beginning, all startups face a critically important decision of picking the right programming language. The decision is not an easy one to make, considering the variety of options to choose from, with PHP, JavaScript, and Python being just a few.

And choose wisely you should, since a future-proof programming language can help you avoid these common problems:

  1. scaling the development team up and down,
  2. internal integration,
  3. implementation of new features.

Let’s also not forget the importance of carrying out market research. Out of the programming languages available, not all will be the right fit for your project and clients. Knowing your market will determine the success or failure of your startup.

This is why you want to make sure that the programming language you end up choosing serves the needs of your potential prospects and is beneficial for the growth of your business. In short, if your clients are happy—so are you.

What do you need to start a business? Three simple things: know your product better than anyone, know your customer, and have a burning desire to succeed.
