June Title
: Python continue to soar in the TIOBE Index
TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages, which is a list, based on the number of global technical engineers, courses and third party vendors index is updated monthly. Including popular search engines, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube, and Baidu are used for index calculation.
This month Python has reached again an all time high in TIOBE index of 8.5%. If Python can keep this pace, it will probably replace C and Java in 3 to 4 years time, thus becoming the most popular programming language of the world. The main reason for this is that software engineering is booming. It attracts lots of newcomers to the field. Java’s way of programming is too verbose for beginners. In order to fully understand and run a simple program such as “hello world” in Java you need to have knowledge of classes, static methods and packages. In C this is a bit easier, but then you will be hit in the face with explicit memory management. In Python this is just a one-liner. Enough said.

In C this is a bit easier, but you will be hit explicit memory management. In Python, this is only a single line. Enough said.
