TIOBE Index for January (TIOBE January 2016 programming language leaderboard Java scored 2015 programming language)

Java has won the TIOBE Index programming Language Award of the year. This is because Java have the largest increase in popularity with one year time (+5.94%). Java leaves runner ups Visual Basic.NET (+1.51%) and Python (+1.24%) far behind. At first sight, it might seem surprising a old language like Java wins this award. Especially if-to-consideration that Java won the same award exactly ago. On second thought, Java was currently number one in the enterprise Back-end market and number one in the still growing Mobi Le application Development Market (Android). Moreover, Java have become a language that integrates modern language features such as lambda expressions and streams. The future of looks bright for Java.

Java has been awarded the programming language award for the Tiobe Index for 2015 years. This is due to the biggest increase in Java2015 year (+ 5.94%). Java became the champion, Visual Basic.NET (+ 1.51%) and Python (+ 1.24%) followed. At first glance, it seems surprising that an old language Java has won this award. Especially if you consider Java to get the same award is exactly 10 years ago. To step back, Java is currently the number one in the enterprise backend market that is still growing in the mobile application development market (Android). In addition, Java has become a feature of modern languages, such as lambda expressions and the language of the stream. The future of Java is bright.

Java ' s rise goes hand in hand with Objective-c ' s decline (-5.88%). Apple's announcement to replace objective-c by Swift some time ago is the main cause of this fall. It was expected this Swift would gain as much popularity as objective-c left behind, but that doesn ' t appear to be the CAs E. This was also observed in Practice:tiobe ' s customers was not eagerly migrating to Swift yet. Apart from Objective-c, PHP ( -1.08%) and Oracle ' s PL/SQL ( -1.00%) also lost ground in 2015. Other interesting changes Are:groovy (from #82 to #17), Erlang (from #89 to #35), Haskell (from #96 to #39) and Rust (fro M #126 to #47), whereas Go, Hack and Clojure is about to enter the top 50.

Java's rise goes hand in hand, Objective-c's decline (-5.88%). Apple's announcement that Swift replaced Objective-c was the main reason for this fall. It is expected that Swift will get as much popularity as possible to leave objective-c behind, but that will not happen. In practice: Tiobe's customers are not eager to move to Swift. In addition to objective-c,php (-1.08%) and Oracle's PL/SQL (-1%), other interesting changes in 2015 were: Groovy (from #82 to #17), Erlang (from #89 to # 35), Haskell (from #96 to #39) and rust (from #126?#47), while Go,hack and Clojure are about to enter the top 50.

So what's the outlook for 2016? I expect that Java, PHP (with the new 7 release), JavaScript and Swift would be the top winners for 2016. Scala might gain a permanent top position, whereas Rust, Clojure, Julia and TypeScript would also move up considerably I n the chart.

So, what is the outlook for the 2016? I expect java,php (with PHP7 release), JavaScript and Swift will be the top 10 winners for 2016 years Scala may get a permanent top 20, while Rust,clojure, Julia and Typescript will also show a higher trend in the chart.

The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings is 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 is used to calculate the rating S. It's important to note the TIOBE index are not about the best programming language or the language in which most L Ines of code has been written.

The TIOBE programming language Community leaderboard is an indicator of popular trends in programming languages, updated monthly, based on the number of experienced programmers, courses, and third-party vendors on the Internet. Rankings are calculated using well-known search engines (such as Google, MSN, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Baidu).

The index can used to check whether your programming skills is still up to date or to make a strategic decision about What programming language should is adopted when starting to build a new software system. The definition of the TIOBE index can is found here.

The Tiobe leaderboard is based on the number of experienced programmers, courses, and third-party vendors on the Internet, and uses search engines (such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!) and Wikipedia, Amazon, and YouTube to statistically rank data. Just reflecting the popularity of a programming language does not explain how well a programming language is, or how much code is written in a language.
