Microsoft’s multi-language approach is paying off<\/h3>\n

RedMonk’s latest programming language popularity report says Microsoft’s multi-language approach is paying off, giving the company the “most to crow about” among all vendors.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0report<\/a>, published this week but reflecting January 2018 data, shows several Microsoft-backed languages high up in the ranking.<\/p>\n

Here’s the list of the top 20 languages, judged by the number of StackOverflow tags and number of GitHub projects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. JavaScript<\/li>\n
  2. Java<\/li>\n
  3. Python<\/li>\n
  4. PHP<\/li>\n
  5. C#<\/li>\n
  6. C++<\/li>\n
  7. CSS<\/li>\n
  8. Ruby<\/li>\n
  9. C<\/li>\n
  10. Swift<\/li>\n
  11. Objective-C<\/li>\n
  12. Shell<\/li>\n
  13. R<\/li>\n
  14. TypeScript<\/li>\n
  15. Scala<\/li>\n
  16. Go<\/li>\n
  17. PowerShell<\/li>\n
  18. Perl<\/li>\n
  19. Haskell<\/li>\n
  20. Lua<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Noting that PowerShell gained one position, R two and TypeScript three, RedMonk weighed in on the popularity of Microsoft’s programming languages.<\/p>\n

    “Of all of the vendors represented on this list, Microsoft has by a fair margin the most to crow about,” RedMonk said. “Its ops-oriented language PowerShell continues its steady rise, and R had a bounceback from earlier slight declines. TypeScript, meanwhile, pulled off a contextually impressive three spot jump from #17 to #14. Given that growth in the top 20 comes at a premium, hitting the ranking that a widespread language like R enjoyed in our last rankings is an impressive achievement.<\/p>\n

    “From a macro perspective, it’s also worth noting that Microsoft is seeing growth across three distinct categories in operations, analytics\/data science and application development.It’s a strong indication that Microsoft’s multi-language approach to the broader market is paying dividends.”<\/p>\n
