Wot no COBOL?
COBOL is #39 [1]. Java and C# dominate the enterprise these days.
Doesn't this nicely prove how worthless such surveys are? Go ask the same
question to the mainframe community, and you will get a completely different
ranking. Go ask the same question to the app programmer community, and you will
get a completely different ranking.
Indeed. The IEEE Spectrum metrics are derived from sources such as
Google search/trends, Twitter, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Dice etc. The
mainframe community is a relatively small part of the IT industry these
days so traditional mainframe languages like COBOL won't be highly ranked.
