Among developers, Python is the most popular programming language, followed by C, Java, C++, and JavaScript; among employers, Java is the most sought after, followed by C, Python, C++, and JavaScript.
Or so says the 2017 IEEE Spectrum ranking, published this week.
IEEE Spectrum, a publication of the The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a technical advocacy organization, says it evaluated 12 metrics from 10 sources to arrive at this conclusion.
It claims to have culled data from Google Search, Google Trends, Twitter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, Reddit, Hacker News, CareerBuilder, Dice, and its own digital library.

I fell asleep reading a dull book, and I dreamt that I was reading on,

Yes well so what. I made up my entirely own language. The best way to describe it is like FORTH but for strings instead of integers. It has the advantage that it's impossible to make a syntax error. All calculations are done in double precision floating point. You can use it to draw pictures. It isn't called PostScript though. I got bored with it years ago and gave up.
