Java is coming off a banner year in language popularity indexes, and it looks to continue its momentum in 2016.
Named the Programming Language of the Year on the Tiobe index and scoring the largest increase in popularity, Java remains in the top spot for the first month of this year as well. Tiobe's index is calculated based on a formula assessing searches on languages in a variety of different search engines.
"At first sight, it might seem surprising that an old language like Java wins this award, especially if you take into consideration that Java won the same award exactly 10 years ago," said index author Paul Jansen, managing director of software quality services vendor Tiobe. "[But] Java is currently number one in the enterprise back-end market and number one in the still-growing mobile application development market (Android). Moreover, Java has become a language that integrates modern language features such as lambda expressions and streams. The future looks bright for Java." Java had been stuck in second place on the Tiobe index behind C for a year and a half until April 2015.
