(Stephen Hawking, Theoretical Physicist, Cosmologist, and Author). These words by Stephen Hawking, emphasize the importance of the programming languages in the 21st century. In this article, we will focus on the top programming languages of 2016.Programming languages are ranked according to the jobs posted on the indeed.com website. 1. SQL (Structured Query Language) This special purpose programming language has topped the chart of programming languages in 2016. The demand for SQL programmers is very high and it is expected to rise in 2016 as well. On an average, a professional with SQL skills can earn around $100k-110k per annum. 2. Java Java sits pretty at the second position, but this does not mean that it is losing its sheen, it will still be the most preferred language in the year to come. The job prospects for Java developers is expected to be very high in 2016. On an average Java developers will reap an annual income somewhere between $100k-$110k.
