You can't judge the popularity of a language from the stories you're used to seeing on social news websites -- enterprise software, although it may be mundane, employs a huge portion of the developers out there today, and many of them are C# or Java developers.
- csmuk 13y agoI wish people would promote this fact more. Reality is well outside what the marketing would have you believe. Also the reason people pick c#/java etc is simply due to it being a pretty good stable standard for fungible staff with decent productivity output and the ability to scale up really complex functionality pretty fast.
- mtdewcmu 13y agoI'm pretty shocked that C# has overtaken Java in number of jobs. I suppose that a lot of that growth came from cannibalizing other MS-centric languages, so it's not really comparable. But still.
