They seem to twist the facts ever so slightly.
PHP is not "most popular computing language on the planet", it's the most popular web coding language; C is the most popular "computing" language, whatever that means.
And in linked article they make it seem that PhoneGap apps are more native than they are, "built-in PhoneGap integration so developers can publish native app packages to the various app stores".
Not factually wrong, but not very clear truth either.
- gngeal 13y agoI'd say that Java is the most popular one, but C does all the hard work!
- flixic 13y agoOh, yes, you are totally right. For some reason I mixed these rankings in my mind.
- voidlogic 13y agoWhen people say C is the most popular, this is the metric they are often referring too: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index....
- gngeal 13y agoYeah, I know TIOBE - when I said "popular", I mostly meant "what most companies make the most fuss about". (As in "we must move out ERP system to Java! Quick!" :-)) C kind of seems to evade this kind of popularity nowadays, it seems to be forgotten by many, almost like a second level of machine code.
