The TIOBE Programming Community index gives an indication of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the worldwide availability of skilled engineers, courses and third party vendors. Here’s the current top ten:
- 1. Java 22.267% +7.46%
- 2. C 18.361% +0.37%
- 3. C++ 10.804% -3.06%
- 4. PHP 10.780% +3.19%
- 5. (Visual) Basic 7.582% -2.95%
- 6. Perl 7.134% -2.59%
- 7. C# 3.279% +1.78%
- 8. Python 2.767% -2.43%
- 9. JavaScript 1.878% +0.64%
- 10. Delphi/Kylix 1.462% -3.85%
Ruby is at position 21 and Objective-C didn’t made it into the top 50 … Apple obviously needs to sell more Macs to make that happen.
