Bellow are 3 ranks of popular programming languages. It's build with the "Language Popularity Index" tool, which is "a fully automatic, transparent, open-source and free tool to measure the popularity of programming languages on the Internet".
Surprise, surprise, the C programming language is again on the top (see the post "C programming language back at number 1 position!"). And Ada shows up on the 10th position for general-purpose and compiled languages! Wow.
