September Headline: No news today

Compared to last month, nothing really changed in the top 20 of the TIOBE index. Only Transact-SQL and VB.NET swapped places. This could be due to the holiday season, but I am afraid it is just because nothing much is happening in the language market. Except for the rise of Objective-C, no new language emerged the last couple of years. How much longer do we have to wait for the expected breakthrough of the Scalas, the Darts and the Clojures?

The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. The popular search engines Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TIOBE index is not about thebest programming language or the language in whichmost lines of code have been written.

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system. The definition of the TIOBE index can be foundhere.
