To be fair, TIOBE is an awful way of determining actual usage. It's "methodology" is to search for +"<language> programming". Is Transact-SQL really used by nearly as many people (as of the latest index) as Perl or Python?

Here's some oddities (from Google currently, at least):

  • +"c programming" +"objective-c"
  • +"basic programming" +"perl"
  • +"c coding" vs +"python coding" vs +"perl coding"
  • +"java coder" vs +"ruby coder"
  • +"java programmer" vs +"c programmer" vs +"python programmer" vs +"perl programmer" vs +"objective-c programmer"
  • +"transact-sql programming" +"2014" vs +"transact-sql programming" vs +"perl programming" +"2014" vs +"perl programming" vs +"cobol programming" +"2014" vs "cobol programming"

    ...and the madness of +"basic programming" +"perl" +"2014" vs +"basic programming" +"perl" vs +"basic programming" +"2014"

    -T.

    Title:
    Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
    and:  <code> code here </code>
    to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



    • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
    • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
      <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
    • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
    • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
