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.

Java searches were down 3.93% over the period, while Python gained 1.86%. The top 10 languages behind C, Java and Python are C++, C#, Visual Basic, Javascript, PHP, Assembly Language, and SQL.

Its top 10 were JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP, C#, CSS, C++, TypeScript, Ruby, C, and Swift. Rust was in 19th spot. Notably, though, Java was not one of the languages to see much growth on GitHub.

"Java will work faster than C on the CPU you don't have yet," Azul CTO Gil Tene said at the Code One session. "When the AVX-512 vector support came out for Skylake CPUs, JIT compilers that knew how to ...

Python multithreading and speed The problem: Python’s slow overall performance, and its limited threading and multiprocessing capabilities, remain major roadblocks to its future development.

In TIOBE’s latest top programming language Index Python has surpassed C++ and is now in the top three programming languages. Java still holds the top spot while C is in second place.

Python has surpassed Java as the top language used to introduce U.S. students to programming and computer science, according to a recent survey posted by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
