Every month, TIOBE Software releases an index of the most well-liked programming languages based upon quite a lot of factors. Most months, the recognition of those languages don’t change much way to developers sticking to what they know. As we head into 2014, that also continues to be the case.

The first TIOBE Index report of 2014 has gone live and it confirms what you might have expected all along – the C programming language family continues to be going strong. Within the first month report, C, Objective-C, C++ and C# are all within the top five. The only real non-C programming language inside the top five is Java due to Android development.

Here are the tip 20 programming languages in keeping with TIOBE:

While much of the pinnacle five list is all about mobile development, the conversation shifts to Web development as you progress down the list. TIOBE notes that there’s not much changing on that front despite the large push to get HTML5 into more Websites. The sole evidence of that push is JavScript jumping from 10th place to ninth place in a year.

As for Transact-SQL moving 12 spots to the number 10 spot, TIOBE says here’s mostly as a result of not much happening in 2013. Essentially, Transact-SQL is solely utilized in Microsoft’s SQLServer that is losing popularity among developers. All of this just implies that there’s been no major shakeups within the programming languages utilized by developers all over the world.
