Meta approves four programming languages for employees and developers
Meta, the social ad biz better known as Facebook, on Wednesday endorsed four programming languages as preferred options for employees and for developers building software on its platform, now in the midst of reorientation toward data-rich virtual worlds.systems language that emerged from Mozilla and is now overseen by the Rust Foundation., the company explained that supporting a programming language is a decision not taken lightly.
"It’s important that every language we adopt is the best fit for a particular use case, so we do a high level of diligence whenever we evaluate a language," the company said."Language decisions tend to stick once they’re made, so we want to be deliberate from the onset to give our engineers the best tools to work with."
For Meta, a supported language can be expected to provide internal and external developers with a positive experience in terms of code editing, debugging, builds, core libraries, and interoperability. And those writing code in a supported language are assured that they won't be asked to shift their code to a different language.
