Interesting that C has overtaken Java. Never heard of PHP. Also surprising that Delphi is holding its own.

Depending on where you browse, you may see pages ending in ".php" fairly frequently.

I don't take things like that too personally. C is now number one. We have very useful C bindings, and C knows how to call fortran in the scientific apps that is this huge body of source and libraries. Maybe that no one's getting rich off fortran is the "problem." -- Uno

If you look at http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/tpci_definition.htm you'll see that the method of determining a language's popularity is to see how many people searched for "<languagename> programming" - not a very objective measure, in my view. Maybe we should all regularly search for "fortran programming" to raise the profile? -- Steve Lionel Developer Products Division Intel Corporation Nashua, NH For email address, replace "invalid" with "com" User communities for Intel Software Development Products http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/ Intel Software Development Products Support http://software.intel.com/sites/support/ My Fortran blog http://www.intel.com/software/drfortran |
