Which language is best for front-end?

Answer 1

Learn CSS for learning how to style the HTML.
Learn JavaScript for adding functionality to the webpage.
You can learn Bootstrap after that it is framework of CSS.
Then learn jQuery It is a JavaScript Library used to make JavaScript code easier.

Answer 2

Javascript.

Answer 3

Just for clarification, both TypeScript and CoffeScript compiles to JavaScript. So it will actually still be JavaScript you are running.

I don’t agree that JS is better either, it would fully depend what you are trying to accomplish and how you prefer to structure your codebase.

From a learning perspective I would defintely go for JS first as others mentioned.

Answer 4

@Brandlarm: Thing is that you can't get a front-end job without knowing javascript.

Answer 5

Javascript is the best and the most popular, hands down.Some less known alternatives are Google's Dart and Microsoft's typescript, also coffeescript gets a lot of compliments lately, even from Javascript's creator, Brendan Eich.

Answer 6

I think java is, as it provides all you need. It's only problem is the complexity it creates, which makes it vulnerable to errors that are hard to be detected. But those can be managed with program as checkamrx. A good practice can also help with it.
