2014 Top Ten programming languages

Recently, IEEE Spectrum has launched one of the most popular programming language rankings. The list of 12 indicators, combined with 10 sources (including IEEE Xplore, Google, GitHub) data, the final selection of the following this list (out of 100, the higher the score in the top), the top ten programming languages are:

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

According to the type ranking, the list of major programming languages is:

Compiled language:

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

Explanatory 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 noteworthy that many of the antique-class language still has a strong vitality. For example, assembly language is also ranked in the top 15, VB (No.14) is still popular, even Delphi also squeezed into the former (no.27). While some languages belong to a typical tree under the good shade, obviously by the strong impact of the launch. For example, C benefits from the strong Apple ecosystem (Swift has not entered the top 30 since the launch time), and go is largely due to Google's role.

Although we don't know what the list is, it's not a good idea to determine the direction of learning by language popularity. Because language knowledge tools, the key is what you want to do with it. Michael McLaughlin made his own recommendations:

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

OS X and iOS development: C

Development tools: C, C + + and Python

Web development: Python, PHP, Ruby, and Perl

Data analysis: SQL, MATLAB and R

Many netizens have raised some questions about this list. For example, if you are using Turing integrity to measure HTML as a language?
