Why do people use Python instead of C/C++ or Assembly? This question was originally answered on Quora by Stan Hanks.

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon.

C++ ranks higher than Java in the Tiobe language popularity index for the first time ever, dating back to 2001. Java slipped to a new low in the latest edition of the index.

Programming languages: Python could soon overtake C and Java as most popular Python is battling for pole position, but Rust and TypeScript have made notable gains in popularity over the past year.

Tiobe analysts believe that within three to four years' time, Python will "probably replace C and Java" to become the most popular programming language in the world.

The 2024 Python, Java, SQL, and C++ Programming Master Class Bundle is on sale for $69.99 for a limited time.

To start out, you learn C, the foundational language needed to build a robust programming skillset, and then you’ll be able to jump into other essential languages like Java, Python, and C++.

Interested students can enrol in the Full Stack Java and Full Stack Python courses or apply for the free C/C++ training program through Delphi's official website (www.delphicomputech.com).

Older, and arguably more-difficult-to-learn, languages such as C and C++ are still used as well, though increasingly they are being taught alongside Java and Python.

That includes the top 10 programming languages each year, which, in 2020, included Java, Python, and C. JavaScript continued to dominate as the most used programming language for six years in a row.
