Java, C, and C++ remain the most popular programming languages in the world, according to the Tiobe Index<\/strong><\/a> for February 2018.<\/p>\n

Other popular languages include Python, C#, and Visual Basic.<\/p>\n

Visual Basic is doing well in relation to other languages, despite Tiobe previously predicting it would disappear in a few years.<\/p>\n

Tiobe also said it has added SQL to the index due to the fact that the language is now Turing-complete.<\/p>\n

The PYPL rankings<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0also showed Java at the top of the list, followed by Python and PHP.<\/p>\n

The top 10 programming languages for February 2018, according to the Tiobe Index and PYPL rankings, are detailed below.<\/p>\n

Calculating the rankings<\/h3>\n

PYPL \u2013<\/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 \u2013<\/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
