Have you seen the latest TIOBE rankings report?
The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been written.
C is still number one, but it is Python that claims the second position now. Some say that Python’s recent surge in popularity is due to booming fields such as data mining, AI and numerical computing.
Next month they will announce the programming language of the year. Python looks like the leader for TIOBE’s language of the year for the fourth time.
