Python sucks

Everything is relative. Cobol, Visual Basic, Java, Perl, and JavaScript suck a lot more.

Javascript is underrated.

Tcl sucks least among scripting langs.

JavaScript was always overrated.

I like Tcl too, but it has flaws.

You are entitled to your opinion. The post is about popularity, not quality.

Javascript was underrated, until Node became so fad

No it wasn't. That was just dumb shit hipsters said. JavaScript is not far behind PHP in the list of most amateurish (original) language designs. They've both changed a lot since, but neither has fully shed it's original cancerousness.

"This month Python has reached again an all time high in TIOBE index of 8.5%. If Python can keep this pace, it will probably replace C and Java in 3 to 4 years time, thus becoming the most popular programming language of the world. The main reason for this is that software engineering is booming. It attracts lots of newcomers to the field. Java's way of programming is too verbose for beginners. In order to fully understand and run a simple program such as "hello world" in Java you need to have knowledge of classes, static methods and packages. In C this is a bit easier, but then you will be hit in the face with explicit memory management. In Python this is just a one-liner. Enough said."

From the subsequent month's snapshot:

July Headline: Perl is one of the victims of Python's hype

Python's continuous rise in popularity comes at the expense of the decline of popularity of other programming languages. One of these programming languages is R, but Perl has been beaten even more. Perl is currently at position 19 of the TIOBE index, which is an all-time low for Perl. Note that Perl was at position #3 in 2005 with a rating of more than 10%. The unconventional syntax of Perl and its unclear future (Perl 5 versus Perl 6) harmed the language a lot. Perl 6 has entered the top 100 at position #93 this month, but this is probably too late to become a major player again.
