   DECEMBER 2011 Programming Community Index

   11. Ruby                 1.494% -0.29%
   12. Delphi/Object Pascal 1.245% -0.93%
   13. Lisp                 1.175% +0.11%


Lisp is growing and Ruby is going down fast. So, what are you waiting to learn the best language ever created?
Imagine a world where Lisp is the dominant language. The software would be years ahead of what he have now.

>>1
Both Common Lisp and Scheme have semantic and architectural deficiencies, as well as shit syntax.

tiobe's ranking methods are extremely shit. people should stop linking to them, imo.

----

Ratings
The ratings are calculated by counting hits of the most popular search engines. The search query that is used is

+"<language> programming"
This search query is executed for the top 7 websites of Alexa that meet the following conditions:

The entry page of the site contains a search facility
The result of querying the site contains an indication of the number of page hits
Based on these criteria currently the following search engines are used:

Google: 32%
Blogger: 32%
Wikipedia: 16%
YouTube: 10%
Yahoo!: 3%
Bing: 3%
Baidu: 3%

It measures the "programming community". So it's perfectly legitimate to use search engines and Alexa to get that kind of data.

>>4

you really think 33% of "the programming community" is posting on blogger?

10% of "the programming community" is making youtube videos about programming?

even recording the number of results from a google search is really bad. that number google gives you is not accurate at all and fluctuates all the time.

tiobe's ranking is rubbish

>>3
I'm going to make a language called "computer" and top the Index for all time.

>>6
Excuse me, but my programming language Justin Bieber-lang just beat yours.

LISP IS THE BEST LANGUAGE

QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM

Python's delta is hilarious.

LISP's rise in rankings was partly aided by the constant stream of /prog/ shitposts asking why LISP is a superior language.

The Python bubble has burst
But really the tipbe index is just crap
