Another programming language popularity contest

If you are interested in the relative popularity of programming languages and the related trends, you may find TIOBE Programmıng Community Index useful. This site holds monthly popularity contests through the use of search data by Google.


The listing for October 2010 was given below. It is interesting that Java is still the number 1 language on the net, considering the amount of sources announcing its death out there :)  Also the amount of jump Ada, Transact-SQL, and Go have taken is quite astonishing. Other things that can be said is that Objective-C is on the rise and Javascript has taken a slight downfall (I think this is because Javascript is more and more being used in the context of AJAX and not much referred to individually anymore). Here's the list, take a look:
