Programming language index
-
While reading an article on Wikipedia about FoxPro, I found a mention about something called the "TIOBE Programming Community index"[^] , which is a top created and updated monthly by a private company monitoring the popularity of the major programming languages used in companies. This is to inform developers what the software market is looking for so they can hone their skills at whatever is needed. To get to the point: I find it real hard to believe/accept that today C# is less popular than Perl or Python or that (standard) C is more widely used than C++... Opinions?

Their data looks like total !"£$&* to me, Visual Basic on the up :wtf: Java the most popular language :wtf: COBOL staging a recovery :wtf: :wtf: but who knows, when I was at university COBOL was still in use in over 50% of major businesses and we were the first year to be taught C++ rather than C. The corporate world is so far behind the technical leading edge it's scary and government and acedemia are further behind still.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

That is a sack of pure, untouched, unadulterated, distilled, steaming turds. Just look at the metric they use! Metric[^] What sort of realistic popularity index can you create with that!

So far, the Universe is winning." - Rick Cook "There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance." Ali ibn Abi Talib "Animadvertistine, ubicumque stes, fumum recta in faciem ferri?"

A bit comforting for people, like me, that still enjoys
Cprogramming. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

It shows that there a lots of crappy Java Programming[^] websites out there compared to the number of high quality C# Programming[^] web sites such as CP. :-D

Real programmers don't answer surveys. P.S. Is it actually a metric of how many people ask for help?
