Keep in mind that this is for « typical IEEE members », which I am pretty sure is not a great representative sample of programmers in general.
How many of you programmers out there are IEEE members?

It’s still way better than counting references in YouTube and twitter, and weirdly enough TIOBE’s results are in line with this poll.
The lists are quite similar with a slight reordering in the top 7 or 8. I guess both lists are a representative sample of developers… But there is one interesting difference:
IEEE: Python, Java, C++, C, JS, SQL, Go TIOBE: Python, C, C++, Java, C#, JS, VB (!), SQL
In IEEE, VB is way way down the list. Do IEEE members use VB less?
I’m always amazed that C still scores so high, but I’ve been told there is a lot of embedded work still going on.

TIOBE measures social media chatter. Odds are there are far more people posting noise about VB just due to the low barrier of entry.
Also if I recall correctly VB is heavily used to customize Excel spreadsheets, which contributes to a larger potential userbase than any programming language.
I’m still not totally convinced TIOBE can accurately determine if something is C or C++.

I am one… but I’m the only one I know at my company and socially.
I’m not a programmer, but why is Java so high up? Are that many devices still running it?
Java is #1 in enterprise. Pretty solid.
It’s fairly ingrained in the programming world now. A lot of common problems are known and solved. A lot of devs can code in Java with little uptake. Java runs everywhere. The tools are pretty good.
Desktop apps and servers run it. So like, processing things and all that run well with it.
As mentioned before, Android uses it too. So there’s a lot going on.
A lot of commercial apps are built with it. And if you’re not using Kotlin, you’re probably using Java for Android dev.

Java is the dominant platform for web services, and some companies including FANGs even standardized their whole infrastructure around it.
Also, Java is basically the default programming language in some degrees.
Do they still have the “billions of devices running java” banner when installing the jre? They could be including Android, as it mostly uses Java.
Just as an example, I worked as a contractor with the biggest bank in Latin America before and basically all their server code is Java (with new code in Kotlin nowadays).

Python king. Deserved?
Java, JavaScript, Python and SQL and you’ll be pretty safe for some of the years to come.
I am rooting for Mojo.
Depends on the use case.
I wrote a webserver in python the last three years and am now changing to java for a new position, and it feels like programming with training wheels.
But then again i did some data science with python and could not have imagined doing it with java.
Not really deserved. Mostly luck
Who’s going to tell them that SQL is not a programming language.

Yea I’m mostly poking fun. You don’t even need script embedding for Turing Completeness. But I don’t consider DSLs as general purpose languages, as by definition they are not intended to be used that way.
I find it amazing that rust is still so far down. Is there something about the language or the community holding it back from gaining spots? Or is it just that other languages are so established, that writing the things that already exist in them just keeps its usercount high?
