C Beats Java As Number One Language According To TIOBE Index

Posted by samzenpus on Monday January 7, 2013 @07:04AM from the mom's-favorite dept.

mikejuk writes "Every January it is traditional to compare the state of the languages as indicated by the TIOBE index. So what's up and what's down this year? There have been headlines that C# is the language of the year, but this is based on a new language index. What the TIOBE index shows is that Java is no longer number one as it has been beaten by C — yes C not C++ or even Objective C."

  Not to mention the number fo songs written in C. In particular, C# is a real pain with all those black keys.

Using the TIOBE methodology, I deduce that the following activities are more popular that C Programming:

- Abduction by alien
- Going to prison
- Dying
