Avascript ranked first in the ranking statistics based on GitHub and stack overflow.

In RedMonk's programming language index this month: Javascript,java and PHP ranked top three. This index is based on the number of GitHub language code lines and the language tags on stack overflow.

"In a narrow comparison, Java always surpasses JavaScript in its rankings, but the difference is always so far away that it is not significant," says Stephen O ' Grady, chief analyst at RedMonk. "The most notable feature is that the language is often described as dying and sometimes touted to rise several"

RedMonk's index of Python, C #, C + +, Ruby, CSS, C, and Objective-c also entered the top ten. The languages ranked 11~20 are: Perl and Shell (side by side), R, Scala, Haskell, Matlab, Go and Visual Basic (juxtaposition), Clojure and Groovy (parallel to 19).

In O ' Grady, there is no value in the ranking index of several languages, including go, R and Switft. "In our recent index trajectory analysis, go goes into the top 20 for 6-12 months," he said. "Within half a year, go can go beyond visual basic,clojure and groovy, replacing Coffeescript and entering 17th place."

The R language is ranked 13th in a row for four consecutive quarters. "Even though the R language remains at 13, it is still the most popular statistical language. "O ' Grady says," although it faces competition from a generic alternative language like Python. "

O ' Grady thinks Swift, the Apple's new language, is a "magical" example that has risen from the last 22 to 68-bit. "From the very bottom of the list, up to the back of the coffeescript and to the front of Lua." According to current statistics, it is likely to enter the top 20 in the third quarter of this year.

Coffeescript fell out of the top 20 two years after it appeared. " This Yi-JavaScript language has positioned itself as an existing JavaScript fad and avoids its quirks, but the rate of support seems to be declining ", but in the third quarter it can be seen as a temporary decline or a continuation.

The RedMonk index is another ranking that compares the popularity of the accumulation language. Published every two years. It is slightly different from PYPL's programming language rankings (PYPL popularity programming Language index): Java First, PHP second, and JavaScript 7,PYPL as the main indicator of Google's search fever. Another ranking: Tiobe, the main survey of the main sites, its ranking in C language First, Java VI, PHP 6th, and JavaScript 7th. But JavaScript became the Tiobe 2014 language of the year.
