C/C++ Back On Top of the Programming Heap?

[wraggster]

On this day in 2008, a submission was posted that C/C++ was losing ground (http://developers.slashdot.org/story/08/04/24/1955257/are-c-and-c-losing-ground) so I decided to check out its current state (http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html). It seems that C has returned to the top while Java has dropped by the same amount, VB and PHP have dropped drastically, C++ is holding fast but now in third place and Objective-C and C# have climbed quite a bit. 2008 data thanks to SatanicPuppy (http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?cid=23189376&sid=533700&tid=22): 1. Java (20.5%); 2. C (.14.7%); 3. VB (11.6%); 4. PHP (10.3%); 5. C++ (9.9%); 6. Perl (5.9%); 7. Python (4.5%); 8. C# (.3.8%); 9. Ruby(2.9%); 10. Delphi (2.7%). The other 10 in the top 20 are: JavaScript, D, PL/SQL, SAS, Pascal, Lisp/Scheme, FoxPro/xBase, COBOL, Ada, and ColdFusion."
