- Every programming language has a 'killer' domain where it excels.
- Statically typed languages like C, C++, Rust, Java, C#, Cobol, Go, and Swift have specific domains such as kernels, low-level systems programming, business applications, high-performance servers, and apps for Apple systems.
- Dynamically typed languages like Python, Julia, Fortran, Matlab, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, PHP, Lua, and R dominate domains such as scientific computing, machine learning, web development, and statistics.
- Using a language outside its killer domain is often harder and sometimes infeasible.
