In einem Artikel über die Entwicklung der wichtigen Programmiersprachen im Jahr 2007 hat TIOBE Python zur Programmiersprache des Jahres erklärt. Im “January Newsflash” heißt es:
Python has been declared as programming language of 2007. It was a close finish, but in the end Python appeared to have the largest increase in ratings in one year time (2.04%). There is no clear reason why Python made this huge jump in 2007. Last month Python surpassed Perl for the first time in history, which is an indication that Python has become the “de facto” glue language at system level. It is especially beloved by system administrators and build managers. Chances are high that Python’s star will rise further in 2008, thanks to the upcoming release of Python 3.
PS: TIOBE ist ein Unternehmen, das sich mit Softwarequalität und Coding-Standards beschäftigt.
