Poll: Language Use

79 pointsby Xichekolasover 15 years ago
I'm curious what languages you work in on a daily basis. I do not want this to turn into some kind of silly language flamewar, so please, none of that. Feel free to select however many you actually use. If you pick Other, please leave a comment.

The table at 20:55 UTC, sorted by points:<p><pre><code> Javascript 147 points Python 116 points Ruby 81 points C 72 points Java 71 points PHP 64 points C++ 44 points C# 37 points Perl 27 points Clojure 26 points Haskell 18 points Lisp 18 points Scheme 16 points Erlang 11 points Lua 7 points Ocaml 7 points Coldfusion 2 points Go 2 points Arc 1 point Fortran 1 point Smalltalk 1 point D 0 points Other 43 points </code></pre> Mostly as I expected, but a couple of things surprise me: I thought perl would be closer to Python and PHP; I didn't think C# would get nearly so many votes; and I would never have guessed that Clojure would make the top 10.<p>I'm relieved to see that C narrowly beat Java for 4th place, but I'm a bit disappointed by the performance of Scheme, Erlang, and Arc -- even though I don't use them myself, I figured that more people here would.

I'm curious who works in Go on a <i>daily</i> basis at current stage of its development? For what kind of projects it is preferable to any other language at the moment?

MATLAB ? It is extremely useful for machine learning hacking.

Looks to me like Javascript is going to take this as nearly everyone who codes it codes in something else as well. Just not the same something else...

More C than I expected (go us!). Would be interested in what the specific projects were using it.

I wonder if a more specific question, like, which language do you use the <i>most</i> on a weekly basis might produce more meaningful results. I get the sense that cross-language applications are becoming ever-more common.<p>We have code in C++, Java, Ruby, Perl, Python, Javascript and PHP, but there's a high concentration around the first three.

I work in vb.net everyday at work. Maybe my brain is melting, but I don't hate it nearly as much as I used to. My previous .net experience was c#, so I think I just had to retrain some habits out of my fingers.<p>Also, voted for python. Loving it for all my randoming glueing and bit moving needs on my windows machine at work.

It's interesting that scheme use is not far off being equal to Lisp use. In my case I learned lisp with scheme then decided to stick with it after I looked at CL and realised it would give me a big headeache.<p>I wonder what prompts others to stick with scheme.

A lot of my projects end up requiring C for speed or hardware access, but I prefer to prototype in Python. It basically ends up being that I spend less time in Python but get about 20 times done when I do. :)

Not a daily basis, but most of my coding lately is in C++ for game design society at uni. In theory I also do php, as webmaster, but I tend to put that to one side more than I ought.

To the other people who do ColdFusion stuff--are you doing new development, or maintaining legacy systems?<p>I do a mix of both, though I don't spend all day, every day doing CF.

Other - F#<p>I voted for Ocaml, which is a close cousin, but with all the libraries available, F# is really another kind of thing entirely.
