What programming language is in the highest demand in the market place right now?



The TIOBE Programming Community Index 2011 is probably the most well-research list to indicate the popularity of programming languages I have seen. I also visited Google trends but I found it not accurate. TIOBE index is assembled in two criterias; first, language should have an own entry on Wikipidea and second, language should be Turing complete. According to them the top 10 programming language as of October 2011 are:

Programming LanguageParadigm
1. JavaObject-Oriented
2. CProedural
3. C++Object-Oriented
4. PHPObject-Oriented, Procedural
5. C#Object-Oriented
6. Objective-CObject-Oriented
7. (Visual) BasicObject-Oriented, Procedural
8. PythonObject-Oriented
9. PerlProcedural
10. JavaScriptObject-Oriented, Procedural, Funtional

This kind of index can be used to verify whether our programming skills are still up to date or to choose which programming language should be adopted when building a new software system.
