The latest update of the TIOBE index puts C# popularity at an all time high with T-SQL jumping up to #14 from #31 a year ago.  PHP, on the otherhand, fell one place allowing C++ to pass it by.  Sad day, PHP.  Here are the top 5:

  1. Java (17.999%)
  2. C (16.076%)
  3. C++ (9.014%)
  4. PHP (7.511%)
  5. C# (6.687%)

Of greater interest is the decade long historical chart showing a significant downward slide for Java since 2001 and a continual uptrend for C#.
