The Tiobe Index<\/strong><\/a> and PYPL Index<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for February 2017 have been released, with Java maintaining first place – but losing market share.<\/p>\n

Tiobe noted that MIT Media Lab’s Scratch language entered the top 20 this month, thanks to its use in schools.<\/p>\n

Calculating the rankings<\/h3>\n

PYPL<\/strong> – The more a language tutorial is searched, the more popular the language is assumed to be. The raw data comes from Google Trends.<\/p>\n

Tiobe<\/strong> – The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers worldwide, courses, and third-party vendors. Popular search engines are also used to calculate the ratings.<\/p>\n
