Short Bytes: Based upon the data from Google Trends, fossBytes has brought to you the list of most popular programming languages of 2015. The list is dominated by languages like Java, Python, C, and others.
For a developer, one of the biggest challenges is to recognize his/her needs and learn the right programming language accordingly. Over the course of year 2015, we have seen various lists of the most popular programming languages that ranked these languages using different criteria. At fossBytes, we have used the Google Trends data to rank these languages and prepare our year-end list.
Based upon the Google Trends data, as shown in the graphs below, we can clearly see that Java was searched the most throughout 2015. As a result, Java is at the #1 spot at out list of the most popular programming languages.
However, things changed in November when python surpassed Java to become the most searched programming language after closely following it at the #2 spot. Looking at the past trends, we observe that the popularity of python has witnessed an increase over the past year and it’s being reflected clearly in the graph.
The next spots are taken by the C and C++ as they claim the #3 and #4 spots, respectively. Javascript claimed the #5 spot as it continues to rule the web.
Take a look at the graph below:
The next four spots are claimed by PHP, Ruby, C#, and CSS.
Just three weeks ago, Apple made its Swift programming language open source. The language has managed to earn a respectable place in the list of programming languages in a short span of time. Swift claims the #10 position on the list.
Here’s the complete list:

Thanks for posting @fossbytes
CSS is a technology and not a programming language in a true sense of the word.
Though it’s an essential component of everything which has to do with HTML.
Will continue with learning JS prolly for the coming year as well
Javascript for developing apps with react native
The year 2015 was really a good year for me. I solidified my knowledge base on C#, and added new web languages like PHP, CSS3 & HTML5. Will get even better in 2016. Can’t wait to roll it off
What is the best way to learn Java for a beginner? Is there anythign different than the usual tutorials that don’t really help?
C#
Looks like my analytic skills are totally dumb :P . . How PHP with 70 points is on 6th position while JAVA is on 1st with 76 points and CSS is on 5th position with 42 points. . How possible?
CSS, JavaScript & Python
Why every single editor out there has an horrible UI? I mean.. even with themes they look terrible. Look at the post’s picture.. It’s so clean!
i learnt R programming language
Python
Python = Future
PHP is my choice ;)
Python
PHP !
Javascript (MEAN). And a little php.
java
Assembly. Yup. Giving that a go.
“Java” ROCKS :-)
Python looks more popular to move in either web or desktop based. Easy to learn and have lots of modules built in and reusable
C, C++, HTML,CSS, PHP, Java, JS and continuing For this year
What is the best source for learning Python Flask frame work?
Scheme

Kotlin!
I just wish I was as intelligent as some of you. No college. I am trying to learn Python now. I want to learn all I can. I am hoping Python was the best first step I could have ever made.

I guess you are not aquainted with how Google Trends works. It's allows a comparative analysis among 5 or lesser items at a single time. There are two subgroups in two graphs that should not be mixed directly. It's relative score.
Python
Osazeme Usen lol, it's a language, not a programming language
I believe that codecademy is very good for begginers and to elarn the basics at least
Python = Future
PHP is my choice ;)
use codeblocks and disable all the toolbars!
Python
PHP !
Osazeme Usen because the writer must be a periodist and not a software engineer
Try atom or sublime-text.. If you prefer an IDE instead of a text editor, use any from jetbrains and hide toolbars.
Joaquín Díaz I'm using Sublime and Atom for Front-End development. I tried chocolate, espresso, coda, textmate, netbeans, xcode, visual studio, aptana, komodo… Bla bla bla. No one of theese has a beautiful syntax theme. The best light syntax theme i found on the internet, after seeing this picture, is Proton (for Atom).
Javascript (MEAN). And a little php.
