Python gains the upper hand against Perl, PHP, and Ruby

Java retains the top spot in the monthly Tiobe index of language popularity, but its momentum is slowing.
For those allergic to data types

A popularity index based on Google searches? If these languages were obvious and easy to learn people wouldn't need Google for help. By that logic we should all adopt whatever is on the bottom of the list and declare it the best programming language evah! :D Too bad we won't get a lot of work done in Z Shell, VHDL, and Verilog... :sigh:

Yeah, it is a silly way of ranking languages. I can see why they do it though: Google queries kinda-sorta-maybe do line up with their usage. Barring new languages/frameworks of course that would cause a spike. And older, more well known languages that developers know well. Of course, both of these would likely be smaller numbers anyway. Plus, it's consistent, so even if it's wrong, it's consistently wrong, so the month-over-month comparisons work. ;P

Wanna buy a VAX BASIC? :cool:
Sounds like a medicine for coughing... :~ "VAX clears out the lungs and nostrils and lets you breathe again. Now available in the editions VAX Basic and VAX Premium" :D

Boss: "I heard Python is popular; we must do our project in Python!" Developer: "I don't know Python." Boss: "Google it."
Your boss doesn't know Python either. Just put an actual Python on his desk and call it a day :D

PHP is like COBOL.......so much code has been written using it that it will now haunt us forever, despite being an ugly monstrosity of a language.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare Home | LinkedIn | Google+ | Twitter
