    Visual Basic.NET is a great programming language, so powerful as C#, but more fun and readable to program with it. So finally after so many years VB.NET has surpassed C# in TIOBE Index (July 2018) See Picture Here (July 2018) www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

        > ...An alternative viewpoint: 14 most popular programming languages according to Stack Overflow... Stack Overflow can not measure the popularity of a language, but the difficulty of programmers to use it, the more questions, the more problematic is that language. Tiobe Index is more trustful.

          Hmmm there are some strange entries in the top 20, including VB, presumably the version that has been dead for over a decade.

            VB and VB.Net are different languages. The old VB is at the top 20 because it is still largely used around the world, it is far from being "dead". VB.Net at the other hand is a very powerful and advanced language, very similar to C#. Do more research before saying things you don't know.

              For dead read unsupported which equates to dead! My development path was from Superbase to Access to VB4 to VB6 and then to VB.net and then to c# so I know precisely what I am talking about. And there are still some strange entries ia rather minor player to be up there.n the top 20. Delphi, which I also dabbled in, seems a little strange, and Mathlab, a programming language. And they split PL/SQL and SQL (presumably TSQL) seems an odd segregation. Still statistics and all that!

                  Now you have done it. He already was foaming over throwing VB and VB.Net into one pot.

                  I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                                So, The TIOBE index is nothing more than an analysis of search results from the following search engines:

                                Google.co.jp: 5.85%
                                Google.ru: 5.54%

                                Bing.com: 3.08%
                                Msn.com: 2.77%
                                Google.it: 2.46%
                                Hao123.com: 2.15%
                                Google.ca: 1.85%
                                Google.com.au: 1.54%

                                = 100%

                                Using the following search term: +" programming" And the result is derived from the following equation: ((hits(PL,SE1)/hits(SE1) + ... + hits(PL,SEn)/hits(SEn))/n Source: [TIOBE Programming Community Index Definition](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition/) It's basically a meaningless number. Have a look at the [graph they have presented](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/). Notice that in early 2004 there is a glitch in their graph where Python jumps up and Java and C++ tank dramatically. That happened because of the Google PageRank algorithm changes codenamed 'Austin' and 'Brandy' that was designed to combat the old SEO tricks webmasters used to get higher rank. In other words... when search engines change their algorithm the tiobe index jumps all around. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

                                  Using the following search term: +" programming" And the result is derived from the following equation: ((hits(PL,SE1)/hits(SE1) + ... + hits(PL,SEn)/hits(SEn))/n Source: [TIOBE Programming Community Index Definition](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition/) It's basically a meaningless number. Have a look at the [graph they have presented](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/). Notice that in early 2004 there is a glitch in their graph where Python jumps up and Java and C++ tank dramatically. That happened because of the Google PageRank algorithm changes codenamed 'Austin' and 'Brandy' that was designed to combat the old SEO tricks webmasters used to get higher rank. In other words... when search engines change their algorithm the tiobe index jumps all around. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

                                        Visual Basic.NET is a great programming language, so powerful as C#, but more fun and readable to program with it. So finally after so many years VB.NET has surpassed C# in TIOBE Index (July 2018) See Picture Here (July 2018) www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

                                        C# is a cleaned up version of VB. "Fun" you say. I say there's a lot of hobbyists. Aaaw, the fun of cleaning up after them - so much, I regularly refuse to :thumbsup:

                                          Like every other "study" it had an agenda to push the statistical results they wanted to emphasize.
