"I have not seen much C jobs for a while now." Because your anecdotal evidence is more accurate than what this list (which describes its methodology) is showing you?

Yeah it is, because their methodology is shitty: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition/ https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-defi..., they just use the google popularity of "[name] programing", it's not a mesure of anything. C jobs are very rare, and it's certainly not 14% of the programming jobs. Putting Java and C on the exact same level is a good sign something is wrong with what they are doing.

  C jobs are certainly much more than 14%. Believe it or not. Most software developers don‘t hang out in internet forums, commit to GitHub or write blog posts about JavaScript frameworks. They just do their day job and go home to their family.

  C jobs are not rare at all. I think you are failing to consider large chunks of the tech sector that operate outside of the web.

    > that operate outside of the web. Outside of the web, mobile, desktop apps and even gaming (mostly C++) you mean? C is used mainly in low level computing and embed nowadays.
    - kickopotomus 8y ago
      Yes. That is correct. I fail to see your point since that is a large chunk of tech.
      - realusername 8y ago
        I would not use "large" for that, it's certainly a chuck yes but is it comparable to web, mobile, gaming and desktop? I'm not really sure.

        It most definitely is large. It's not just about all of the recent IoT devices. Firmware for all of the controllers on your motherboard is written in C. Most device drivers are still written in C. Many operating systems (linux) are written in C. Then you have all of the controllers in the devices in your home (e.g. microwave, oven, digital clock, entertainment devices, etc.)

  Feel free to show me a link to a site with a better methodology to support your claim. Otherwise I'm going to continue believing you lack evidence to support said claim and are therefore wrong.
