Python and SQL are on top, but old languages shouldn’t be forgotten

    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.

    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.
