While JavaScript continues to rule the web as the most popular programming language among developers, it’s a widely known fact that it has a code complexity problem. Fortunately, we have enough tools to detect complex code and block it.
This notion was again confirmed recently in a study that programming languages like JavaScript and Python are more complex than you think. If we define complexity as the average percentage of code that’s deeply nested — 4 times or more — in each project, JavaScript turned out to be the most complex language, followed by PHP, Java, C#, and Python.
Apart from the complexity factor, Serene analyzed over 400 billion lines of code and looked for other factors like ‘which language do programmer need the most help with’ and ‘which programming languages are least expressive’. Once again, JavaScript turned out to be the most complex programming language.
While many people could deny the methodology of Serene, the results are interesting and worth a discussion.
