Recently I have found this pypl--programming language popularity index. It has two excavations of popular indicators in various languages. The authors point out that the Tiobe index may not reflect the real situation, and that the names of some programming languages can lead to misunderstandings. He introduced a number of new terms, using Google Trends to come up with different conclusions.
From the author's research, we can tell that in the past 10 years, the Python language has achieved the greatest increase. From the picture we can see its very beautiful linear growth in 10 years, congratulations to the Python language!
The data of this chart is very interesting, it is not a bad thing to have no big float, which indicates that there are a lot of groups (from Java and php--a large tribe) want to learn this language. Python is the only language that behaves differently on this chart.
As we all know, Python originated from a scripting language for scientific computing, and now it is becoming increasingly popular and constantly penetrating into technology areas such as web and commerce. These technical areas are java,c#,c++ by some big companies, with a lot of funding, and in the Web, PHP and Ruby are renowned. Under such a great competitive pressure, a new language would be very difficult to get popular. Python was successful. For me, that's why Python is the first language of the decade.
