Though it may not convey a very strong message, programmers
have voted PHP and Python as the most disliked and liked languages
respectively. Most votes which are open for the public are easily biased by
influence of popular voters. These kinds of polls are highly subjective and it
has no use to argue and to reason out anything. Yet the poll has some
interesting results to look around and may be you might reach on some important conclusions.
The poll has some interesting results, for example I am
surprised to see that some of the recent hot languages like Ruby fail to get
into top net liked list. On the other hand I am also amazed to find Javascript
in the list of dislikes. Also C++, though disliked by a large number of
programmers, it still has some big fans. Here is the result of the poll and the
link to source actual poll.
Top five most liked programming languages
- Python by 2416 pts
- Ruby by 1252 pts
- C by 1851 pts
- Javascript by 1768 pts
- SQL by 1140 pts
Top five most disliked programming languages
- PHP by 1909 pts
- Java by 1708 pts
- C++ by 1130 pts
- Javascript by 1115 pts
- VB by 1066 pts.
Taking a deeper look, we still have PHP and Python at the
top of both lists. Beneath is top five liked and disliked programming languages
based on net results.
Top five most liked programming languages (based on net
likes. i.e the likes minus the dislikes)
- Python by 2034 pts
- C by 1551 pts
- Go by 743 pts
- SQL by 692 pts
- Haskell by 679 pts
Top five most disliked
programming languages (based on net dislikes. i.e the dislikes minus the likes)
- PHP by 1330 pts
- VB by 935 pts
- Java by 908 pts
- Javascript by 653 pts
- Action script by 653 pts.
Like I said in the beginning, this list may not infer so
much. But the least you can do with it is use it in choosing what programming
to learn next, or what programming to use for your next project. The more
people are fond of a certain languages the more you are gonna find great guys
to work together. For example am scared to hell to find out that people are
bashing both PHP and Java; two of my priorities. So maybe, maybe I might
consider Python for my next project.
