- angersock 13y agoErm, you're ignoring a little thing called "The Internet as Experienced By Millions".
- catshirt 13y ago1. erm, you are ignoring a little thing called "embedded systems". 2. what is the crossover of internet-capable devices also running Java or C? like 100%? 3. you are only defending your assumption that there is a bigger install base, not a bigger developer base.
- angersock 13y agoI'll give you embedded systems for deployment, but the number of embedded systems programmers is dwarfed by the number of web developers. The problem with the TIOBE index is that it also seems to factor in courses and services--I wonder if there is a straight-up developer census. That'd solve the question rather thoroughly. :)
- catshirt 13y agoembedded systems is not a defense that there are more C programmers than Javascript. it is a defense that Javascript does not have a larger install base. embedded systems + financial/government sectors + academia + video games + mobile apps (compared to simply "web development") is my defense against the notion that there are more Javascript developers.
