Python is a widely accepted server-side programming language because of its wide range of applications. Be it simple scripting or advanced web applications, you have nothing to worry about for you know Python has got you covered. As a result of Python, developers can now use various programming styles including reflecting, functional, etc. No wonder why python is considered to be one of the easiest and most marketable programming languages to learn.

JavaScript
If, as a freelancer, you aim to create dynamic web elements such as animated graphics, interactive maps, etc., then nothing can be a better choice to rely on than JavaScript. This programming language is extensively used in web development, building web servers, game development, etc.,

Golang (Go)
Go, a programming language developed by Google has garnered attention from everywhere across the globe in the least possible time. Its very ability to handle multicore and networked systems and massive codebases has won its attention. Thus, Golang making it to the list of top 10 programming languages that freelancers prefer to learn, doesn’t seem to surprise anyone.

Java
Freelancers aiming to make a career in web development, application development, and big data can blindly rely on Java. Java is a general-purpose programming language with an object-oriented structure that is owned by Oracle Corporation.

C#
C# has grabbed eyeballs from every corner of the world because of its ability to support the concepts of object-oriented programming. This is one of the prime reasons behind its increasing popularity. As C# works on Windows, Android, and iOS, freelancers won’t face any problems in learning this language.

R
As far as processing statistics, including linear and nonlinear modeling, calculation, testing, visualization, and analysis are concerned, there cannot be a better programming language to provide the desired results than R. Right from its existence, R has continued to open doors of opportunities.

C++
What can get better than a programming language boasting features such as data abstraction, polymorphism, inheritance, etc.,? Well, this is exactly what C++ has in store for you. Undoubtedly, you are bound to get good earnings as well as opportunities in your programming career. A point worth a mention is that this programming language is widely used in desktop application development, GUI application development, 3D game development, and building real-time mathematical solutions.

Swift
Well, Swift is a relatively new language but is highly preferred by freelancers as well as other programmers and developers because of its speed, performance, and security. Additionally, Swift is an easy language to learn thereby making it a lot easier for freelancers.

Kotlin
Off late, Kotlin, an open-source programming language has gained huge popularity so much so that companies such as Netflix, Pinterest, and Amazon Web Services make use of this language. This can be accounted for mainly because of its features such as support for lambda functions, smart casts, null safety, and operator overloading.

Ruby
Yet another programming language that is highly preferred by freelancers and web developers is Ruby. This is because Ruby has a syntax that is easy to read and write. Yet another point that is worth a mention is that its object-oriented architecture supports procedural and functional programming notation.

The player will guess a number between 0 and 10. If their guess is correct, they win. Otherwise, the program will give the player a hint to either guess higher or lower depending on the correct number. The player will have three shots at the game; if he guesses incorrectly three times, the game would end.

Golang

Simply put, Go is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

In this piece, you will learn how to make a simple guessing game in Golang.

Getting Started With Golang.

To start with, you will need to install Golang on your computer. If you don’t already have it installed, you can do this from the Golang website.

Once you are done with the installation, open the CMD on Windows, Terminal on Mac and Linux. Then change directory “cd” to the folder you want to store your guessing game in.

Create the directory for your guessing game

mkdir Guess

Move into the new Guess directory

cd Guess

Create a new file named guess. go

touch guess. go

You have now successfully installed ‘go’ and also set up your guessing game file.

Now, open the guess.go file with a text/code editor on your device. You can use VS Code. Windows comes with Notepad pre-installed. Mac OS includes TextEdit. Linux users can use Vim. You can also download other text editors like sublime text or atom.

Now let’s get started with coding

Creating the Guessing game

The instructions for this tutorial will be included in the code itself as comments. In Golang, you make comments with double forward slashes.

Once you are done editing, save the program. Also, you can change whatever you want in your program. For example, you could increase the guessing range of numbers from 10 to 100. You could change the program’s response to the player’s actions in the printLn() functions. You can do whatever you want, the game is yours now.

Running Your Program

Open up the terminal of your VS code or command prompt (Windows/Linux) or the terminal (Mac), depending on the choice of text editor you made above . Ensure you are still in the guessing game directory you created above. If you are not, navigate to the guessing game directory using the command below;

cd

There are two methods which you can use to run your guessing game. Build or Run. Use either of the two.

1. Build

Type the following command

go build guess.go

You should see a new file in your guess directory(folder) named ‘‘guess’’

Then run

./guess

2. Run

Type the following command

go run guess.go

Regardless of the method you went with above; Your game should be running now. Once your program is running, test it out! Play around with it a few times.

Bonus: If you are using VS code, you can open the IDE from your terminal by typing this simple command

code

Note: you must have installed this in your path. To do this, press CMD + SHIFT + P, type shell command and select Install code command in path.

According to a new report published by BlackBerry’s Research & Intelligence team on Monday, there has been a recent “escalation” in the use of Go (Golang), D (DLang), Nim, and Rust, which are being used more commonly to “try to evade detection by the security community, or address specific pain-points in their development process.”

In particular, malware developers are experimenting with loaders and droppers written in these languages, created to be suitable for first and further-stage malware deployment in an attack chain.

BlackBerry’s team says that first-stage droppers and loaders are becoming more common in order to avoid detection on a target endpoint, and once the malware has circumvented existing security controls able to detect more typical forms of malicious code, they are used to decode, load, and deploy malware including Trojans.

Commodity malware cited in the report includes the Remote Access Trojans (RATs) Remcos and NanoCore. In addition, Cobalt Strike beacons are often deployed.

Some developers, however, with more resources at their disposal are rewriting their malware fully into new languages, an example being Buer to RustyBuer. Based on current trends, cybersecurity researchers say that Go is of particular interest to the cybercriminal community.

According to BlackBerry, both advanced persistent threat (APT) state-sponsored groups and commodity malware developers are taking a serious interest in the programming language to upgrade their arsenals. In June, CrowdStrike said a new ransomware variant borrowed features from HelloKitty/DeathRansom and FiveHands but used a Go packer to encrypt its main payload. The team says:

“This assumption is based upon the fact that new Go-based samples are now appearing on a semi-regular basis, including malware of all types, and targeting all major operating systems across multiple campaigns.”

While not as popular as Go, DLang, too, has experienced a slow uptick in adoption throughout 2021.

By using new or more unusual programming languages, the researchers say they may hamper reverse-engineering efforts and avoid signature-based detection tools, as well as improve cross-compatibility over target systems. The codebase itself may also add a layer of concealment without any further effort from the malware developer simply because of the language in which it is written.
