Hello,
I have been monitoring TIOBE, a programming language popularity index.
Python has been experiencing extremely fast growth in the last few
months, rising to fourth place from seventh in a year, just behind
Java, C, and C++. It has also experienced the most increase in
popularity of any language in 2010. TIOBE uses search engines for
data, by the way, so the results are indicative of popularity in
numbers of searches, not necessarily usage.
I think this is an extraordinary success for Python, and can only be
good for Sage.
I'm somewhat suspicious of that data. For example, Lisp is #14, MATLAB #29 and
LabVIEW #47.
Do a job search on monstir.com or similar and see how many jobs want Lisp
programmers compared to MATLAB and Labview. I really can't believe that Lisp is
ahead of MATLAB or Labview,
