The world’s top programming languages since 1986

Did C, C++ & Visual Basic. I also thought Delphi will be popular....

No Fortran?

I feel old.

No need to. From Wikipedia:

It is the primary language for some of the most intensive supercomputing tasks, such as astronomy, weather and climate modeling, numerical linear algebra (LAPACK), numerical libraries (IMSL and NAG), structural engineering, hydrological modeling, optimization, satellite simulation and data analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, computational economics and computational physics. Many of the floating-point benchmarks to gauge the performance of new computer processors – such as CFP2006, the floating-point component of the SPEC CPU2006 benchmarks – are written in Fortran.

At work we need to teach the language to new graduates for the above reasons. On the other hand it does not look like a popular language for writing phone apps.
 
TFW your fav 4 languages are in the top 5 :cool:

Free Pascal still lives with Lazarus (Delphi 7 Like IDE) I also think they are throwing Delphi(Object Pascal) with Pasal.

Hey php nice

Nice what? For the fluke template language that can not even print false? Or a language that decided in 2009 maybe arrays is a important data type lets give it a shorthand []. Or wait, only started to get specification recently with PSR and PHP7, and lets not even talk about the frameworks that decided to $%^@ PSR. Nice indeed, nice indeed. I relate to this knight.
 
BASIC isn't even in the top 100

The following list of languages denotes #51 to #100. Since the differences are relatively small, the programming languages are only listed (in alphabetical order).

(Visual) FoxPro, 4th Dimension/4D, ABC, ActionScript, APL, AutoLISP, bc, BlitzMax, Bourne shell, C shell, CFML, cg, Common Lisp, Crystal, Eiffel, Elixir, Elm, Forth, Hack, Icon, IDL, Inform, Io, J, Julia, Korn shell, Kotlin, Maple, ML, MQL4, MS-DOS batch, NATURAL, NXT-G, OCaml, OpenCL, Oz, Pascal, PL/I, PowerShell, REXX, S, Simulink, Smalltalk, SPARK, SPSS, Standard ML, Stata, Tcl, VBScript, Verilog

Haters will say it's fake.

I'm not saying its fake, it is very real. It's a de facto web language. You have Wordpress, MediaWiki, Facebook heavily invested in it.

It does not make PHP a well designed and thought through language. It was a hack that could do the job, and was readily available. We are talking about a language having calls like mysql_escape_string and mysql_real_escape_string(yes I'm aware it is deprecated) it is one big spaghetti mess!

But as a PHP developer, you will always have work. I'm just not willing to perpetuate this #@$! anymore.
