TIOBE : C overtakes Java as the No.1 programming language

157,215 4
Summary

The TIOBE Programming Community Index for April 2012 indicates C has reclaimed the top spot, surpassing Java as the most popular language among developers. This shift highlights C's growing appeal, though Java's strong presence in Android development may temper its decline. C++ remains in the top three, while Objective-C continues its ascent and C# falls to fifth place. The index, calculated monthly from programmer data and search engine trends, serves as an indicator of language popularity rather than inherent quality.

TIOBE has released the Programming Community Index for April 2012. The highlight of this month is that C overtakes Java as the No.1 programming language again. C language is liked by more and more developers of all ages. Due to the growing popularity of the Android platform, Java decline will not be obvious. Previously Java took a very long time to overtake C, now C once again returns to the throne. The battle between these two languages will continue.

The top three are respectively, C, Java and C + +. Objective-C continues to heat up, while C# drops to No.5.

Other interesting moves this month are the entrances of Visual FoxPro (#42), Scala (#45) and Alice (#48) in the top 50. Out are good old programming languages Eiffel, PL/I and Tcl.


Other programming languages :

TIOBE Programming Community Index is an indicator of the programming language trends. It is updated monthly, this list is based on the number of experienced programmers,courses and third-party vendors on the Internet. It uses the well-known search engines (such as Google, MSN, Yahoo) as well as Wikipedia and YouTube to calculate the ranking. Please note that this list is merely a reflection of the popularity of a programming language, does not indicate whether a programming language is good or not.
