Scratch is 31st Most Popular Programming Language

So after a little reading I found this website that listed the popularity of different programming languages and I noticed that Scratch was 31st.  big_smile

Update October: It's now 25th.

Squeak is made in Smalltalk I think, or maybe it's an extention of Smalltalk

Re: Scratch is 31st Most Popular Programming Language

It's more popular than Haskell, Smalltalk and even ActionScript... Now that's something.

I found even more interesting, how Visual Basic .NET became much more popular this year, compared to the last. Why.  hmm  The reason of Obj-C's popularity may be quite obvious: iOS development.  tongue

It's mostly used for interactive web applications and such these days, but it is a general-purpose scripting language that can be used for many things.

So it can be used instead of JS?

Aww, no BF or BCT? They're the easiest to make interpreters for, I have a bf interpreter on my comp and a BCT interpreter on my TI-84 Silver with 184 bytes of memory!
