The\u00a0TIOBE Index<\/strong><\/a> for August 2016 shows that the C language is at an all-time low in its ranking system.<\/p>\n

25 search engines are used to calculate the TIOBE index. The search engines are the 25 highest-ranked websites in Alexa that meet a set of conditions<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The C programming language has a score of 11.303%, which is its lowest score ever since we started the TIOBE index back in 2001,” it said.<\/p>\n

The group said that besides C not evolving like other languages, no big companies are publicly promoting the language.<\/p>\n

“Oracle supports Java, Microsoft supports C++, C#, and TypeScript, Google supports Java, Python, Go, Dart, and JavaScript, Apple promotes Swift and Objective-C, but none of them supports C publicly.”<\/p>\n

The rankings for August 2016 are detailed below.<\/p>\n
