Python has become entrenched near the top of language popularity indexes while C continues on a downward trajectory.
In the PyPL Popularity of Programming language index, which analyzes language searches in Google, Python again takes second place with a 14 percent share; Python, in fact, has seen the most growth in the index in the past five years.
“Python has been [in] second place on PyPL for a year now and is still going strong,” index author Pierre Carbonelle said. “Not a surprise with the popularity of AI; [Python] has popular AI libraries like Keras, Theano.”
