App Development

Choosing the right language for your app is an important decision point for your company. There are nearly infinite strong opinions on each language and which one is best. In this article I'll be as objective as possible and lay out pros and cons for major languages. Most languages are good for a specific use case, and the top few (Python, Node) are often best in most cases.

A major decision point in early initiatives is between building a native app or with the mobile web. There are a number of things to consider from a user standpoint as well as technical considerations. I also give some options for hybrid and compromises between these two main modalities.
