Python has become the most popular programming language

The high-level general-purpose programming language Python became the most popular in the world, overtaking. JavaScript Python is actively used in areas such as machine learning data science, home automation, scientific computing, etc. This is stated in the review, which on October 29, 2024 presented the largest web service for hosting IT projects and their joint development. GitHub

The popularity of programming languages ​ ​ on GitHub is calculated as a collection of activity on Comitas (a way to save changes in the code), problems, requests for inclusion, comments, discussions, sent code and considered requests for inclusion. This helps to assess the diversity of community actions on projects. As of 2024, Python has become the leader: in addition to relative simplicity, this language is a popular choice for developments in the field of generative artificial intelligence - this direction demonstrates a sharp increase on the GitHub platform. The ranking of the 10 fastest growing languages ​ ​ includes:

• Python;
• TypeScript;
• Go;
• HCL;
• Kotlin;
• Dart;
• Rust;
• Luna;
• TSQL;
• Blade.

Python becomes the most used language on GitHub. Since Python is a general-purpose language, it can be applied to a wide variety of applications, and simplicity makes it an excellent language for automating tasks, creating websites or software, and analyzing data, according to GitHub materials.

It is noted that JavaScript still retains a huge base of developers: the language is universal in work both on the client side and on the server side and easily adapts to various frameworks and standards. At the same time, Rust continues to gain popularity due to its security, performance and productivity.^[1]

GitHub named the most popular programming languages ​ ​

In early December 2020, the service for joint development of IT projects GitHub published a rating of the most popular programming languages ​ ​ with which platform users work. Microsoft The evolving TypeScript project is rapidly gaining popularity.

The first place was retained by JavaScript. Next is Python, the third place is taken by Java. TypeScript climbed to fourth place. The fifth fifth line was taken by C#. Next come PHP, C++, C, Shell and Ruby. The top ten lineup has remained unchanged since 2017, but PHP and Ruby, at the top of the list five years ago, continue to lose popularity.

Ranking of the most popular programming languages

As noted by ZDNet, until 2016, TypeScript is not one of the ten most popular programming languages ​ ​ on GitHub, but in 2018 it climbed to seventh position, and in 2020 it climbed three lines up, ahead of C#, PHP and C++.

One of the creators of TypeScript, Anders Halesberg, a technical employee Microsoft and "father of C#," in a conversation with ZDNet admitted that he had to sell the idea of ​ ​ an open source language to Microsoft executives in 2010, when the company, under the leadership of Steve Ballmer, was very negative about the community. Open Source

RedMonk analytics firm co-founder James Governor believes that TypeScript has been growing in popularity in recent years because the programming language satisfies JavaScript developers' needs for "type security." The growing popularity on GitHub indicates that TypeScript will remain for a long time, the expert is sure.

The ZDNet publication says that TypeScript has become popular among web developers with an extensive JavaScript codebase. Among them are Slack, Airbnb and Bloomberg. Microsoft also wrote its popular cross-platform open source code editor Visual Studio Code on TypeScript.^[10]

10 best programming languages for machine learning - GitHub

In January 2019, the service for hosting IT projects and their joint development GitHub published a rating of the most popular programming languages ​ ​ used for (machine learning MO). The list is based on the number of repositories whose authors indicate that their applications use MO algorithms.

Python and C++ are most often used to develop programs based on machine learning algorithms

1. Python

Python was named the most popular programming language among MO software developers in GitHub largely for its set of pre-configured tools for implementing MO models and algorithms. Thanks to this, programmers can use Python to implement machine learning without deep knowledge in it and create, for example, chatbots from scratch.

This became possible after the emergence of the well-documented Scikit-Learn library, which provides a large number of machine learning algorithms. There is also the presence of the ChatterBot library, designed for speech processing and learning on datasets in dialog format.

2. C++

C++ ranked second among programming languages ​ ​ used by GitHub users for machine learning. The high position is due to the creation of the GoogleGoogle TensorFlow MO library, which focuses on neural networks. Although the bulk of the developers and researchers who use TensorFlow work in Python, sometimes it is necessary to abandon this scheme. For example, when you need to use a trained model in a mobile application or robot.

In addition, the popularity of C++ on GitHub is due to the development of a distributed high-performance gradient booster platform Microsoft LightGBM (increases the speed and efficiency of training the MO model) and the Turi Create library (simplifies the development of custom machine learning models for novice developers).

3. JavaScript

JavaScript closed the top three in the GitHub rating. It has a WYSIWYG editor that allows you to create machine learning models by simply dragging objects. In addition, the ml5.js project played in favor of JavaScript in the ranking, designed to make machine learning suitable for use by artists and students of non-technical specialties, offering access to algorithms and models of machine learning in the browser.

4. Java

A popular project such as Smile (Statistical Machine Intelligence and Learning Engine) has been created in Java. It is a fast complex system designed to implement machine learning, NLP, linear algebra, graph, interpolation, and visualization in Java and Scala.

Another popular repository on GitHub, in which the code is written in Java, is H20. This machine learning library is designed both for local computing and using clusters created directly by H2O or working on the Spark and  Hadoop cluster. 

Having access to libraries, it is not so difficult to develop ML-based programs in any programming language

5. C#

One of the most popular MO projects written in C# on GitHub is ML Agents. This is an open-source plugin for the Unity game engine that allows games and simulated spaces to act as environments for training intelligent agents.

6. Julia

Here, the most popular projects are MachineLearning.jl, MLKernels.jl and LightML.jl.

7. Shell

This programming language is worth noting Dl-machine scripts designed to configure the GPU for computing using CUDA with deep learning libraries.

8. R

The R programming language is popular in MO projects due to its large community and libraries for data analysis.

9. TypeScript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, that is, any code on JS is correct from the point of view of TypeScript. However, TypeScript has some additional features that are not included in JavaScript

10. Scala

GitHub has several repositories to promote Scala. Among them is Microsoft Machine Learning for Apache Spark.^[12]

2018: Most popular programming languages - Tiobe

In December 2018, Tiobe published a regular rating of programming languages ​ ​ based on the calculation of search results containing the name of the language.

ZDNet browsers pay attention to the fifth place in Visual Basic.Net, which Microsoft released in 2001. Its rating turned out to be the largest during Tiobe's calculations - 7.127%. At the end of 2017, Visual Basic.Net was on the seventh line of the list with a score of 2.467%.

ZDNet writes that Visual Basic.Net continues to revive, despite Microsoft announcing in 2017 that it was ending the joint development of Visual Basic and C# to focus on the "key scenarios and domains" in which Visual Basic.Net is most popular. As a result, the company has thrown more resources beyond C#.

Tiobe analysts called Visual Basic.Net's fifth place in the ranking "very amazing." This project is second only to C++, Python, C and Java. A list of the most popular programming languages ​ ​ by December 2018 is presented below.

Tiobe Programming Popularity Rating

According to experts, Visual Basic.Net "sooner or later will start," but by the end of 2018 it remains popular for creating specialized office applications for small and medium-sized businesses. This language is still widely used by developers in many ways because it is easy to master.

According to Microsoft, Visual Basic.Net has "hundreds of thousands" of supporters against "millions" of C#. The company strives for C# leadership in creating technologies for cloud, mobile and advanced computing, and in Visual Basic.Net sees a focus on developing for Windows computers.

Microsoft's new strategy caused alarm among programmers working with Visual Basic.Net, who feared that the company might curtail this language. Also, the developers were disappointed that Microsoft offered support for Xamarin in C#, but did not do so with respect to Visual Basic.Net.^[13]

2014: Rating ITmozg.ru

The portal for job search in the field of high technologies and telecommunications ITmozg.ru compiled a rating of the demand for programming languages ​ ​ in 2014, and also compared it with the data of the world rating, which is published monthly by TIOBE software The ^[14] rating is ^[15]

To compile the rating, ITmozg.ru experts analyzed more than 30 thousand vacancies in the IT sphere.

The rating of languages ​ ​ according to ITmozg.ru was topped by PHP, which by a large margin was ahead of C and C++, which are in 1st and 4th place in the world ranking, respectively. Vacancies that mention PHP account for almost 22% of the total developer vacancies published during the period under review. In the foreign rating, PHP took only 6th place.

Rating of the demand for programming languages ​ ​ as of the end of 2013

Other differences that can be noted are the higher demand for Delphi, Visual Basic and.NET and, conversely, the lower demand for Objective-C, i.e. development for Apple devices.

It is curious that if you include such a specialized language as a built-in programming language in the consideration, 1C then it will become the absolute and dominant winner of the rating with more than 37% of the total number of vacancies. Working with this very pre-compiled high-level language, which allows you to make changes to 1C-based software solutions and configure them for the needs of specific enterprises, is now Russia in much greater demand than other types of development.
