I think that there is no need to check popularity of C and compare it to other ones. Even if C isn't most often used programming language anymore, it is and will be programming language number 1. Most popular languages are not realy different from C. Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, Lisp - ok. those languages are different, OK. But C++, C# and Java are just C made bit more convienient tool for object oriented programming. Morover, if it isn't enough so much currently used software is written in C. Yeah, no doubt that C is programming language number 1.
- mikegirouard 15y agoPHP is very much akin to C. I wouldn't categorize it w/Ruby or Lisp.
- krollew 15y agoSure it's not not as different from C like Lisp is, but there are many differences. First of all: everything outside "<?php ?>" is treated as argument for print. Second, PHP is dynamicaly typed and support many functional language stuff like closures. In my opinion it's much more difference between C and PHP and between C and C#/Java.
