C Programming Language Back At Number 1
 

derrida writes "After more than 4 years C is back at position number 1 in the TIOBE index. The scores for C have been pretty constant through the years, varying between the 15% and 20% market share for almost 10 years. So the main reason for C's number 1 position is not C's uprise, but the decline of its competitor Java. Java has a long-term downward trend. It is losing ground to other languages running on the JVM. An example of such a language is JavaFX, which is now approaching the top 20."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F10%2F04%2F06%2F2354221%2FC-Programming-Language-Back-At-Number-1" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=C+Programming+Language+Back+At+Number+ 1%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FaLTcgF" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/04/06/2354221/C-Programming-Language-Back-At-Number-1?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_w0lCt9MDBBxVP_nL0TONG9PqeY/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_w0lCt9MDBBxVP_nL0TONG9PqeY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_w0lCt9MDBBxVP_nL0TONG9PqeY/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/_w0lCt9MDBBxVP_nL0TONG9PqeY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/IxkfMcVIooA" height="1" width="1"/
