For the field of work I want to go in, I believe Java would be a good language choice when it comes to computer development, but the C program when it comes to game development.

Java is used a lot in programming companies and I think it will continue to be popular in some areas. I know the Java language to play a big part in computer development for companies like “Guidewire”, “Visit Orlando”, and more.

Java I see had very high ratings during 2002, but somehow just took a plunge between 2004-2005. Steadily over into the next year it has been climbing up, but still contains a kind of imbalance.

Lua has been used to extend programs written not only in C and C++, but also in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Fortran, Ada, Erlang, and even in other scripting languages, such as Perl and Ruby.”

“"Lua" (pronounced LOO-ah) means "Moon" in Portuguese. As such, it is neither an acronym nor an abbreviation, but a noun.

Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. So, please, write "Lua" right!”

The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month.
