2014 Top Ten programming languages

2014 Top Ten programming languages

Recently, IEEE Spectrum has unveiled one of the most popular programming language rankings. The leaderboard screened 12 indicators, combined with 10 sources (including IEEE Xplore, Google, GitHub), and finally ranked the following (out of 100, the higher the ranking, the more forward), of which the top ten programming languages were:

1. Java
2, C
3. C + +
4. C #
5. Python
6. JavaScript
7. PHP
8. Ruby
9. SQL
10, MATLAB

Ranking by type, the leaderboards for each of the major programming languages are:

Compile-language:

1. Java (total ranking)
2, C (No.2)
3. C + + (No.3)
4. C # (No.4)
5, Objective-c (No.16)

Interpreted language

1. Python (No.5)
2. JavaScript (No.6)
3. PHP (No.7)
4. Ruby (No.8)
5. Perl (No.11)
6. HTML (No.12)

Data language

1. SQL (No.9)
2, MATLAB (No.10)
3, R (No.13)

It is worth noting that many antique-grade languages still have a strong vitality. For example, the assembly language is also ranked in the 15 high, VB (No.14) is still popular, even Delphi has squeezed into the former (no.27). And some of the language is typical of the tree under a good shade, obviously by the launch of the strong influence. For example, Objective-c benefited from the strength of the Apple ecosystem (Swift did not enter the top 30 because of its short launch time), while Go was largely due to Google's role.

Although we don't know exactly what the rankings are, it's not a good idea to decide on the direction of learning by language prevalence. Because of the language knowledge tool, the key is what you want to do with it. Michael McLaughlin has made his own recommendations:

Development of commercial software, recommended: Java, C + +, C #, and Aide–android IDE (for Java and C + + source code)

OS X and IOS development: OBJECTIVE-C

Development tools: C, C + + and Python

Web development: Python, PHP, Ruby and Perl

Data analysis: SQL, MATLAB, and R
