The following table compares general and technical information for the most popular programming languages as determined by the TIOBE Programming Community index. Less popular programming languages may be added as well. SAS, PL/SQL, Visual FoxPro, and VB.NET are among the most popular and will be added as soon as possible. Please see the individual products' articles for further information.
