Programming Language by Industry

Where can one find out which industry uses which programming language the most? Somebody mentioned in passing that C++ is used mostly in Engineering.

I'm not 100% sure, but I can try. Healthcare = Heavy use of Mainframes and J2EE (this one I'm 110% sure) Online Businesses and Services = J2EE, .NET, PHP Insurance = Once again Mainframes and J2EE Maybe some more people can add to this.
ASP - AJAX is SEXY. PERIOD.

I've always found that any survey or stats on programming languages are suspect at best and rarely proven out in real life. Best policy is to learn them all and be ready to use whatever is required for the project.

In my 20+ years of work in manufacturing environments, it has been: (mainframe) Fortran, COBOL, C, BASIC, Assembler (Windows) VB (from VB 4 to VB.Net on Framework 2.0), ASP, ASP.Net, Javascript, VBScript (Database) DBMS, Oracle, Ingres, Access, SQLServer These are not listed in any particular order, just what I remember and have encountered.

In my unscientific observations in the last few years: Most embedded development that I know of from friends and colleagues is still done in C, and a small bit in C++. Big corporations use mostly Java EE for enterprise software development. Contract web development for simple web applications and websites is done mostly in PHP and Perl. I know Python and Ruby exist, too, but I don't know of people actively using it now. .NET is used by small and medium companies for a variety of development purposes, and it also seems to have become a favorite platform for software development houses that do custom software development for non-software companies.

Based on my experience and talking to various people around here at IC: Windows: VB, VB.NET, C# Web: ASP.NET, PHP, Java Embedded: Assembler, C, occasionally C++ for larger processors, BASIC for teaching Software Engineering (Teaching in Electrical & Electronics): Pascal / Delphi Physics: C++ Information Systems Engineering (Teaching): C

Depends which engineering you're doing, as I said here at Imperial Physics are taught C++ and Electrical are taught Pascal initially then Assembler and perhaps C.

Banking: mostly Microsoft technologies middle, back and peripheral, mix of MS and Java in the front office. Lots of small teams still use Excel/Access for financial apps though not as much as it used to be. Where I am now I'm the only nettie: the rest are still using ladies asp and other 20th century technologies though trying hard to learn! Most of my colleagues and peers tend to feel that MS is currently the flavor of the month with Java a close second. It very much depends on the whim and experience of the manager and the business users driving the projects: where desks have been running for a long time with established IT many are still c++ driven. Note that this was a sweeping generalisation and based on a small sampling. :)

I live in Nashville, TN where health care is the largest industry (over 250 health care companies + HCA) and though I don't work in it I have interviewed for jobs and it seems there is some migration to .NET technologies going on here at least.

If you're asking this because you want to choose a language to learn, I think you might want to reconsider your plan. Take whatever language you love and learn for fun, and then find jobs that require it. You'll be much happier that way!

Good advice. For coding and for any jobs in general
