C programming language back at the top

According to the TIOBE index C programming language back at number 1 position. It’s no surprise that Java is loosing pace to other JVM languages. But that C is gaining traction? Uauu, I didn’t expect this…

Also worth mentioning is Apples’s Objective-C raise. And Go (go figure :)

Here Abril’s 2010 index:
