This is my second post along the blog speaking about programming languages ranking according to TIOBE for software quanlity.
Before heading off to speak about the ranking, I would like to point out that this rank is based on the amount of searches and content availiable on the web for each programming language, You can read the full definition of TIOBE index here.

As seen in the table above, you will note that no changes happened for C & Java ranks but it's showing change to the negative on the indexing.
The real surprise here is that JavaScript stepping over PHP what makes JavaScript at it's highest position ever. but going back to the point that "it's a surprise to see JS here"... In reality, it's not, JavaScript is a fundamental programming language that makes whole lot of things, If you're either developing web using PHP or .NET, JS is necessary.. Also it's been a while now since 2012 Microsoft opened the path for JS developers to write their own metro style and windows phone applications using HTML,CSS & JavaScript, and more and more reasons to cause the raise of JS as we see.
C#, which i consider a powerful general purpose programming language is still in it's same position, with a little bit of decrease on the index.
I will execuse you to jump to R programming language to speak about it..
R, for people who don't know about it, it's a statistical programming language, I consider it as the heart of data science, The reason why we see R showing up is simple, if you're working in software field, you might have heard a lot of the term "Data Engineering" or "Data Scientist" recently.. With the mass increase in the amounts of data being collected, the need for a person who makes researches and extract information from that data became remarkable, and that's where R programming language is powerful.
Until here we reach to the end of my post but if you want to know more about this indexing go TIOBE INDEX .
So... what programming languages you're interested in anyways?
