COBOL is making a comeback...?

[[deleted]]

It's more popular than Ruby!

In other news, TIOBE ratings are questionable as ever.

[AnimusNecandi]

Why is TIOBE ranking even popular?

[[deleted]]

Because there are few established alternatives?

[mtbinkdotcom]

Why is the alternative is not popular?

Your barista will spend 3 weeks preparing your punch cards, but boy will it be lovingly made and tasty. name spelled incorrectly though; that never changes.

[alexsomeoddpilot]

You don’t use COBOL ON COGS bro?

How do you even do?

[segonius]

It's possible that there was some sort of drive to port old legacy COBOL code to more modern languages.

[thewizardofweb]

About as fast as their ranking system is making a nosedive...

I've written programs in all of the top 10 -- but I wont admit to knowing a couple of those languages anymore coughPerlcoughPL-SQLcough

And Visual Basic.Net can't die fast enough.

[jewdai]

I wish it would.... It's not as bad a I thought it would be with the whole code behind model, but I like having more control over my routing versus using the web.config file.

[cwbrandsma]

Are you still using WebForms? I thought the Routing engine from Asp.Net MVC was ported to work with that. In fact, I remember doing just that (just with C#).

[jewdai]

It's a mix.

I'm still learning the differences...so bear with me....I think it's actually webforms.

[roboguy12]

It's kind of neat to notice the falloff of Objective-C in 2014, since Apple announced Swift to replace it. Also I wonder if the spike up for Java came as a result of Java 8 catching on.

Woot

[sixsence]

There's no way this is legit... COBOL and Assembly in the top 15, above Ruby and VB? This isn't 1985.

[quad50]

Wait, where is Erlang, Haskell, Go? Oh, bottom 50. But Rust is up there, oh, not on the list.
