Java falls as Python rises

History made

For the first time in the history of TIOBE's index, Java has slipped out of the top two, leaving Python to occupy the spot behind C.

According to TechRepublic , October's TIOBE index had C at No. 1 and Java at No. 2, and historically those two languages have simply traded spaces while the rest of the competition battled it out for the privilege to fall in behind the two perennial leaders.

However now that Python has overtaken Java in popularity, the future could be one in which everything comes up Python.

TIOBE CEO Paul Jansen said: "In the past, most programming activities were performed by software engineers. But programming skills are needed everywhere nowadays and there is a lack of good software developers. As a consequence, we need something simple that can be handled by non-software engineers, something easy to learn with fast edit cycles and smooth deployment. Python meets all these needs."
