The 2016 Top Programming Languages
- jcbeard 10y ago>C is still #1, but big data is the real winner Give me a break. Big data is a wonderful buzz word that means everything and nothing. It also has no relevance to the language. You can write awesome big data apps in C or Java or WingDings just as you could anything else. All it takes is a programmer who knows how to choose the right tool and the right constructs for the job.
- hbcondo714 10y agoAt first I just looked at the graph and was surprised that Swift didn't make top 10 but then actually read the article to see the author mention it's technically #11, right behind Go. Think Swift will make top 10 next year?
- georgeecollins 10y agoIt is interesting that Go has caught on that much.
- AstroJetson 10y agoCOBOL!! I'm with jcbeard, "big data is the real winner"?!?!. Let me tell IEEE something, if you want to process Big Data, you are doing it in COBOL, and you've been doing it in COBOL for decades.
- vorg 10y agoInteresting to note the major differences between IEEE's and TIOBE's lists. Apache Groovy is in TIOBE's top 20, but nowhere in IEEE's top 48. Arduino is in IEEE's top 20, but nowhere in TIOBE's top 50. http://spectrum.ieee.org/static/interactive-the-top-programming-languages-2016 http://spectrum.ieee.org/static/interactive-the-top-programm... http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/tiobe_index http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/tiobe_index
