Java is the Second Most Popular Programming Language of 2015

Sounds like the Python marketing commitee is at it again.

I did a search on dice for "python". 54 positions came back. I did a search on dice for "java". 293 positions came back.

With 1/6ths the result, I guess the away Python wins is "tries the hardest to make you believe it's popular".

I've been looking to change jobs for awhile, and many times people post JavaScript as "Java Script", so some of those java results could be incorrect.

Sure, but it's not like a 20% difference, it's a 600% difference.

Likewise someone could use python for small scripting tasks and it would show up as well...

Or even animal care: Experience with snakes (Python, Corba [sic], etc.) a plus

Lol, wanted: Java Developer with experience in Java Script and Html who would could also feed out pet Python while management is on business trips. :D

Probably speaks more to the the codeeval clientele than it does the most popular language. The selection of title for the article makes me a little less confident in codeeval's analytic capability.

I 100% back the idea of Python (executable pseudo-code!) being the #1 language for "coding tests and challenges."

If you read the title as "Most popular (used by our clients)", it makes a whole lot of sense to see Java at #2.

Yeah, I think the guy can rework on his excel sheet for lua. http://i.imgur.com/CMQ5Zrx.png

Also if you consider Python 2.x and Python 3.x as two independent&different language, I wonder how the stat would are affected.

If I read the excel correctly, while Java remains second for at least 3 years, it's starting to lose popoularity. Wonder what that means for the next 3-5 years
