Delphi is on position 9 now. For the first time in years! Will the good times return?

Can we say "happy birthday Delphi" 4 days before the D day ?

If you look to real desktop applications programming Delphi is now on 2th-3th place 😉

Interesting to see that PHP went so low so quick..

Don't forget TIOBE is based on "search for answers". Python is the top because programming in Python is a nightmare when you start having library dependencies problems (and in IA you will have problems).

PHP is a simple language. It doesn't evolve a lot and the users look for frameworks, not the langage itself.

For Delphi the reason is perhaps the number of newcomers and the regular updates which awake "old" programmers. And of course the activity of the community in general.

Can you provide a source for that?

TIOBE and skip the scripting languages and other non desktop application development software.

Finally the guy from Tiobe mentions the word Delphi - but together with the word "dinosaurs".

And Visual Basic is one place before Delphi again ...
