It depends on what branch you are looking at.

In my yard the branch over the power line...

Embedded: C, C++ and someday, maybe Rust..
Web: C#, Javascript
Desktop: C#, Java

I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Thanks. Good information. I appreciate it. My Branch was the Navy... Crossed the Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean, but not my power lines. Big Grin | :-D

Everywhere is different. The best way to research this is to watch the job market where you live / want to work. It won't take long to work out what employers are looking for.

IMHO, it is better to be language-agnostic and solution-oriented. Language details can always be filled up.

For example, last week, I assisted a student with his Java assignment, though I had worked in Java only 20 years ago. Concepts of class, object, array, list, dictionary, program flow, etc. are the same in all OO languages, isn't it?

I get that. However when one is looking for a job like me, it is what the employers want. Sigh | :sigh:

Now you just need to find people that know OO.

Last slate of job applicants thinks implementing a microservice that writes a row to a DB is OO.

You'll need "two languages" then ... one for the "employer"; and one for when you want to work for yourself.

(The "end user" doesn't care about "languages")

Last time I read on how Tiobe was gathered it indicated that they are in fact gathering exactly that information.

Only sources other than that which I have ever found were based on surveys often from sites that had a bias and often seemed to be of the form of 'do you think you will use X in the next year?'

Oi! Code contest?

No, I too was wondering where it was this morning and I realized the egg is on my face. I will start it on Monday to give it a week for voting.

Thanks,

Thanks!
Hey, Sean, if it's a toss between two of my most popular articles last month, please pick Winduino instead of the ascii art one. I think it's a more impressive project. Thanks again!

Doesn't ring a bell.

There's rating articles as the best of the month, but that's not a contest.

Classic line from a movie, don't remember which one;

They have soup du jour on the menu, I don't know what it is but they have it every day.

I don't remember the comic, back in the 80s (George Carlin or Gallagher maybe?), telling of a visit to a diner with "soup du jour" on the menu.
He asks the waitress, "what's the soup du jour?"
She grumbles, goes back to the kitchen. Comes back a few minutes later. "It's the soup of the day."
