According to the TIOBE index , which evaluates
the popularity of programming languages based on the results of search queries, Java still holds the palm in September. The result of our favorite language is 12.6% of the total number of requests. More than 5% behind the closest pursuer - the "elder" of the C programming world, and his younger, but very powerful object-oriented brother, C ++, entrenched in third place. The top five is closed by C# and Python. The latter has been predicting a quick leadership for many years, but not all analysts agree with this opinion.

At the same time, another ranking,
PYPL , which ranks languages based on how often documents and instructions are searched, puts Python in second place. Well, on the first - who would you think - Java again, and again with a decent margin.
