HTML ( HyperText Markup Language): A web page requires a structure and content to be functional. HTML allow developers to organize the content under form of bullet points, paragraphs or use images and data tables. HTML consists in a series of elements which allow developers to create a specific appearance for the content (Moraes, 2022).

Javascript: is a powerful and complex programming language that can be used to manipulate website content forcing it to act in different ways. Majority of present website support and use Javascript making it a popular choice for developers to design interactive websites. This programming language uses strings to allow developers to create websites (Kantor, 2022).

Python is a popular programming language that allow developers to be more efficient. It is used to create web applications, workflows, connect database systems, and mathematics. Python syntax is simple making it popular in coding domain (Oracle,2022).

Ruby: Yukihiro Matsumoto design Ruby to be natural and intuitive offering developers’ greater flexibility. Ruby can be used for numerous types of programs however it is common in web applications development. It is popular among developers being considered a simplistic and powerful programming language and it is often met in front-end and back-end development. Inside Ruby everything is an object (Ruby,2022).

 

 

Ruby it is popular due to it's simplicity which makes it an intuitive and easy to learn programming language. As we can notice in our example it is required just a simple code line in Ruby to generate an OUTPUT.
