Раз пошла такая пьянка, то стало интересно, как же ранжируют языки программирования?
* The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings.
* The PYPL PopularitY of Programming Language Index is created by analyzing how often language tutorials are searched on Google.
* Already mainstream and firmly established in the Software Development industry. Top-ranked in the renowned programming languages ranking websites. Popularity is increasing or stable and not sharply decreasing. They have a large set of libraries, frameworks, tooling support, and have a large community. They are demanding in the job market with a good salary.
* Spectrum gets data for 11 metrics from 8 sources that we think are good proxies for popularity, and we combine the results in an app that lets you filter languages and adjust the weights given to each metric.
И тд и тп.
Коротко: кто во что горазд. Впрочем СИ везде входит в первую десятку.
