TIOBE Programming Community Index for June 2008 June Headline: ActionScript
enters top 20

The TIOBE Programming Community index gives an indication of the popularity
of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are
based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party
vendors. The popular search engines Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and YouTube are
used to calculate the ratings. Observe that the TIOBE index is not about the
*best* programming language or the language in which *most lines of
code*have been written.

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up
to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language
should be adopted when starting to build a new software system. The
definition of the TIOBE index can be found
here<http://www.tiobe.com/content/paperinfo/tpci/tpci_definition.htm>.

 June Newsflash - *Brought to you by Paul Jansen*

   - Thanks to Paul Connelly there is now a better categorization of all C
   shell and Bourne shell dialects, Stephan Le Roux pointed out that CFScript
   should be part of the CFML grouping and Glenn Kelley suggested to add VB6 to
   the Visual Basic entry. Thanks to you all!
   - In the tables below some long term trends are listed about categories
   of languages. For the first time in 3 years statically typed languages are
   moving upwards again.

Frequently Asked Questions

   - *Q: What definition of programming languages has been used?*

   A: A language is considered a programming language if it is Turing
   complete. As a consequence, HTML and XML are not considered programming
   languages. This also holds for data query language SQL. SQL is not a
   programming language because it is, for instance, impossible to write an
   infinite loop in it. On the other hand, SQL extensions PL/SQL and
   Transact-SQL are programming languages. ASP and ASP.NET are also not
   programming languages because they make use of other languages such as
   JavaScript and VBScript or .NET compatible languages. The same is true for
   frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, Cocoa, and technologies such
   as AJAX. Finally, we have also excluded assembly languages, although Turing
   complete, because they have a very different nature.
   - *Q: How are dialects of languages grouped?*

   A: Some languages are grouped together because they are very similar to
   each other. An example is the language entry Basic which covers Visual
   Basic, QBasic, Microsoft Basic, etc. VB.NET has been added as well to the
   Visual Basic entry because it is often referred to as Visual Basic. The
   ratings for a collection of languages is calculated by taking the maximum of
   all individual entries (not its sum!).
   - *Q: Am I allowed to show the TIOBE index in my
   weblog/presentation/publication?*

   A: This is OK provided that you refer to its original source:
   www.tiobe.com.
   - *Q: I would like to have the complete data set of the TIOBE index. Is
   this possible?*

   A: We spent a lot of effort to obtain all the data and keep the TIOBE
   index up to date. In order to compensate a bit for this, we ask a fee of
   1,500 US$ for the complete data set. This might seem a lot of money but it
   is considered strategic data. The data set runs from June 2001 till today.
   It started with 25 languages back in 2001, and now measures more than 150
   languages at least 10 times per month. The data are availabe in comma
   separated format. Part of the deal is that new data will be send to you for
   1 extra year. Please contact sales em tiobe.com for more information.
   - *Q: What happened to Java in April 2004? Did you change your
   methodology?*

   A: No, we did not change our methodology at that time. Google changed its
   methodology. They performed a general sweep action to get rid of all kinds
   of web sites that had been pushed up. As a consequence, there was a huge
   drop for languages such as Java and C++. In order to minimize such
   fluctuations in the future, we added two more search engines (MSN and Yahoo)
   a few months after this incident.
   - *Q: Why is YouTube used as a search engine for the TIOBE index?*

   A: First of all, YouTube counts only for 7% of all ratings, so it has
   hardly any influence on the index. YouTube has been added as an experiment.
   It qualified for the TIOBE index because of its high ranking on Alexa.
   YouTube is a young platform (so an indicator for popularity) and there are
   quite some lectures, presentations, programming tips and language
   introductions available on YouTube.
