Python remains the big kahuna, but specialist languages hold their own By Stephen Cass Welcome to IEEE Spectrum’s sixth annual interactive ranking of the top programming languages. This year we’ve done a major overhaul, changing some of the underlying metrics and building a new streamlined interface. But our basic idea and methodology remains the same: combining data from multiple sources to rank the popularity of the programming languages that are used for the type of coding you are interested in. We take this approach to get around the two fundamental obstacles to all attempts to determine the popularity of programming languages: (1) No one can actually look over the shoulder of every coder around the world as they tap away at the keyboard, and (2) a language that’s a cornerstone of one programming domain might be utterly irrelevant in another. Spectrum gets data for 11 metrics from 8 sources that we think are good proxies for popularity, and we combine the results in an app that le...

Host of product firms have moved tech teams here to leverage cost arbitrage in last 8 months Share It is not just large banks and IT firms that are tapping into India’s technology talent pool. Over the past year or so, a growing number of small American and European product companies have started moving technology development work to India, as they face a battle for talent competing with large companies in their home markets. Software as a Service (SaaS) firm Quolum, which started operations earlier this year, has hired three people in India out of its four-member tech team. “Over the last seven to eight months, we have seen a lot of product companies move tech teams to India to leverage the cost arbitrage. These companies have proven business models and find it easy to attract talent by paying 1.3-1.5 times the prevailing salaries in India,” said Joseph Devasia, MD, Antal India, an executive recruitment firm.

From tilling the family fields with his father in a remote Tamil Nadu village to heading the prestigious Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in Bengaluru and launching India’s ambitious moon mission, Chandrayaan 2 , K Sivan has come a long way. Despite his family’s modest means, Sivan, now 62, pursued his studies, attending his classes and also helping his father in the fields. He studied at a village government school in the Tamil medium, and did his BSc in mathematics from ST Hindu College in Kanyakumari district. Throughout his early student years, his wardrobe was minimalist (he used to wear a dhoti) and he would walk barefoot. The first time he wore slippers was in engineering college. Even after all these years, Sivan remains a man of simple needs . “He still wears plain clothes, even though he is quite fond of wearing white-coloured clothes,” said a colleague and friend of his, who did not wish to be named. “Same goes for his eating habits. He is the ISRO chairman but dur...
