Delphi reaches the TIOBE Index TOP 10!

After some years, Delphi came back to the TOP 10 of the most popular programming languages of the world :D

It is time to take more care about developer opinions and keep rising :D

    Obj-C's goose is cooked.

    Unfortunately less than 2% is still quite low. At least it's higher than Visual Basic 6. ;-)

    1=Delphi + Pascal = 2.15, #9 rank, just below PHP and above JavaScript!

    10th is better than 17th...

    I didn't realize that Visual Basic is still on the list and on place 11! I hope that's an artifact of the way the list is generated because otherwise that would mean that a lot of people still use the pre dotNet VB which was abandoned by Microsoft 10 years ago.

    I know 2 companies that still use Visual Basic and Visual C++ that was from before dotnet... they are phasing it out as their software is not Windows 7 compatible, though.

    Yeah, like nobody is still using D4-D7 on projects, right? hehe

    My previous employer also continued to use VB6 when I moved on. I was glad to get rid of it. That was 7 years ago, no idea what they are doing nowadays. You can get VB6 programs to be Windows 7 compatible, but it's going to get harder for every new version. And I'm glad I don't have to try it.

    David Schwartz I don't see any reason to stick with anything < Delphi 2007, but of course getting approval for the funds for an upgrade might be a problem in some workplaces. Upgrading to a Unicode version is more difficult, as I have been experiencing myself over the last 5 years.

    Small math quibble - Delphi (1.869) + Pascal (0.846) comes to 2.715. Ninth place, as A. Bouchez points out.

    Combining Delphi/ObjectPascal with Pascal, their performance on this list has been pretty consistent for years, hovering between 8th to 12th.

    Seeing VB. Net growing to #7 make the whole chart nonsense

    Mohammed Nasman​ VB.Net growing is due the new .Net compiler (Roslyn).

    Horácio Filho So C# must  grow much more than that :).

    It already is. But anything is better than Obj-C.
