Python has continued its upward trajectory from last year and jumped two places to the No. 1 slot, though the top four—Python, C, Java, and C++—all remain very close in popularity. Indeed, in Diakopoulos’s analysis of what the underlying metrics have to say about the languages currently in demand by recruiting companies, C comes out ahead of Python by a good margin.
The C programming language was created to redesign the UNIX operating system for use on multiple computers. When judged by programming language popularity, C has been one of the most stable languages ever created. C provides low-level access to memory and requires minimal run-time support. Many critical components of modern operating systems are written in C as is the whole Linux operating system. Even though most programmers understand C to some degree, only a minority use it on a regular basis.
With 22.7% market share, Java leads the index as the most popular programming language in the world. The reason behinds Java’s popularity is simple: Android. Any device that can run a Java virtual machine (JVM) can run all standard, dependency-free Java applications.
Developers used to criticize Java for its inferior performance. But things have improved dramatically as the language continued to evolve. Anyone with a solid grasp of the language should find it easy to secure a good job as a software developer.
The language was created by Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist, with the original name “C with Classes”. In 1979, Stroustrup came up with the idea to create a language that would combine the features found in the Simula programming language with the performance of C. The language quickly took off. It’s now used by most popular software projects: Windows, Chrome, all major applications of Adobe, etc. Its advantages over C and other most popular programming languages 2016 and 2017 include portability, exception handling, function overloading, a rich function library, efficiency, and speed.
Created by Microsoft, C# is a modern programming language that continues to evolve and improve with time. Developers use C# to write apps for the Windows operating system. Also, it’s one of a few programming languages supported by the incredibly popular game engine Unity. C# is fully open-source, and Microsoft has even released an open-source C# compiler, called Mono. Most operating systems, including Android, Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris, can run Mono with no issues. C# programmers can enjoy access to all the .NET Framework class libraries. They include a comprehensive collection of reusable components.
