"The ratings are based on the world-wide availability of skilled engineers, courses and third party vendors" It means there's a lot of highly visible, out of work Java devs ? :P VB is high because VB6 was and is useless without C++ 'third party' components.

That's like judging the popularity of a girl by how many guys already have dated her.

The correct way is: Judging the popularity of a girl by how many guys want to date her. :-D

Interesting. I would be curious to see what the actual numbers are for each language. Hogan

nothing really. One can easily use many languages when developing. C#/JavaScript is a combo that is often on found for web development, SQL is there also if there's any database connectivity of sorts, then there's XML (it is a language, eXtensible Markup Language;p) So for a single web app, 4 languages have been used, albeit the brunt of the work was conducted by C#. And there's the glue languages paradigm where you use such languages as Perl, Python and Lua (awesome stuff). And there's the maintaining of old code that is conducted with the same language that wrote it. So this [the statistic] pretty much means nothing.

It could have been secretly done by Sun... :suss:

I don't think it really means much. I don't really ever look at stats like that because usually it is skewed or biased.

You missed the fact that tiobe recently merged VB and VB.NET into one category because they suddenly decided the two languages were similar?!? :rolleyes: (might as well make C and C++ into C/C++ in that case) This is causing a massive swing upward in the VB ranking this year. Also, the stats only show how often people resort to googling for information on a language topic. Not as scientific as one would hope for. Also, look at those massive swings. If I remember right from Physics class, the error analysis would not be good on their data.

This indicates the number of existing customers for a particular product or sevice.

guys want to date her
This may stand to indicate the waiting list of customers. So do you feel the latter is a good benchmark to ascertain the popularity of the girl?:-D

When I studied in the university I saw one amazing thing. My friends downloaded these reports, read them and started to learn new programming languages. And they always said that this "new" language is the best. These reports are interesting, but this one looks like it was paid by Sun. :) Few weeks ago I saw the same "report" paid by Microsoft.

You still need the "How many has she dated" figure. You want that to be a low figure and your figure to be a high one.

Maybe it means that there are more Java applications then you want to acknowledge. You are like the fox in the fable: “Those grapes are probably sour. I don't want them”

COBOL was once very popular (and is still 17 on their list). Java is the new COBOL. I've written in both Java and COBOL. Neither are my first choice, but I've noticed that the computer doesn't much care. I think it might mean that our understanding of computers and programming is limited and hopeful evolving. Of course it could also just be a BVMS (Big Vat of Meanless Statistics).
