Programming languages: Microsofts TypeScript language makes top 10 for the first time
Summary
The ranking is based on its analysis of developer chatter on coder knowledge-sharing site, Stack Overflow, and the number of projects in a language on Microsoft-owned open source code-hosting repository Github. "The ubiquity of JavaScript coupled with the optional safety offered by TypeScript has proven to be a winning combination, and vaulted it directly into rare territory," writes OGrady. While OGrady marked Julia as one to watch when it rose to 36th last year, today he noted theres nothing about its movement to "preclude a continued ascent, or even an acceleration of this. " "Its one thing to pick up JavaScript or even TypeScript quickly; fluency and competency in Rust is, by comparison, more difficult to achieve," he writes. The top 10 languages in RedMonks June report are led by JavaScript, followed by Java, Python, PHP, C++, C#, CSS, Ruby, C and TypeScript.
