[FRIAM] Tiobe Programming Language Index

2008-04-07 Thread Owen Densmore
Always fun to see the programming language index now and again:
   http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html

Amazing to see VB is up 3.5%, while C++ is down .8% and Python is  
moving up .7% .. and the big surprise for me with AJAX being such a  
Big Thing is Javascript down quite a bit.

Nice to see D doing well, still in the top 20, and actually at number  
12 already.

Naturally, Java is still number 1, at 20.5%, up 2.17% over the year.

Looks like VB and PHP have overtaken C++ in third spot. But these
languages aren't really competitors of C++, which are really C#, Java
and to a certain extent C.

D will probably be my next language, but it will probably need to get
way more popular before I make a switch to it :)

But even Haskell has a better performance case.
