languages popularity
I found a study from
IEEE
on popularity of programming languages. I note:
- The languages I use are in the top 10 (
R , C)
- C is always use in many
- scripts languages are widly used (you can find a shell or a python
inerpreter on almost every machine, form the tinyest RAm architecture
to the multiprocessor x86 including some routers)
- the script languages I know are in the top 20 (python, shell) (I
should write sh and not shell)
- I’ll continue to use C as I feel confortable with it and it is always
used
