C programming language becomes the most used

TIOBE Software publishes its monthly ranking (TIOBE Programming Community Index) programming languages.

According to this index, for the first time in 4 years, Java is losing its place as the most popular language for the benefit of C then found the top ranks.

The C is fairly constant over the years, it varies between 15% and 20% market share for almost 10 years. So the main reason for this position as number 1 is not an increase in C, but declining rival Java, "explains the analysis that accompanies this ranking. "Java is on a sustainable downward trend.

C + +, PHP and Visual Basic (although in sharp decline) complete the quintet head.

The highest increase was achieved by the Objective-C (2.15%). Go, the new language of Google, is already coming in 15th place.

In addition to Visual Basic (-2.7%), the largest drop is recorded by Python (-1.88%), JavaScript (-1.21 %)... Java and (-1.29%).

Java vulnerabilities, already patched by Oracle !

Vulnerabilities have been discovered in Java.

According to the official document of the alert, the vulnerabilities are:

- An error in the code of the class HeadspaceSoundbank can cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted file Soundbank;
- An error in the processing of images can cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted Java applet;
- Several other unspecified vulnerabilities exist in Oracle Java components.

These flaws could allow remote execution of malicious code or open a door to a denial of service attack. Confidential records are no longer protected optimally.

The JVM impacted are:
- Java SE JDK / JRE 6 Update 18 and earlier for Windows, Solaris, and Linux;
- Java SE JDK 5.0 Update 23 and earlier for Solaris;
- Java SE SDK 1.4.2_25 and earlier for Solaris;

MonoDroid project brings .NET on Android

This is not a scoop. NET is becoming more widespread. Today, the framework from Microsoft could affect Android, the Java platform of his great rival Google, thanks to a project from Novell, the Mono editor.

Small return on the Mono project.

Mono is implementing open-source and portable. NET framework. Some even say that Mono is preferred to Java application development for Linux workstation.

The project also aims to make applications interoperable with Microsoft Virtual Machine installed on posts in order to achieve compatibility on all operating systems without having to edit / compile the code.

And among the systems promising, there are obviously Android (Google's platform which initially covers smartphones, but who wants to generalize to all mobile devices, possibly more ...).

This project intends achieve MonoDroid, option for Android Mono somehow, to reach mobile and all the different devices in the future, adopt the OS giant's website.

By enabling the deployment. NET applications on Android, will allow Novell Does Microsoft to become an alternative to Java (especially in terms of interoperability with its virtual machine) or Python?

MonoDroid Or will he a minor project?
Time will tell (and especially the first preview, which is already attracting a lot of waiting).

MonoDroid was announced at Mix10, Microsoft's living room.

Oracle confirms the arrival of JDK 7

JDK 7 JavaOracle recently reiterated its commitment to Java at the EclipseCon 2010 is currently taking place in California.

Former Sun, Jeet Kaul - now vice president of Oracle - and Steve Harris, also vice-president of the society, have made frequent statements to this effect during the event.

For Kaul, "the key to the success of Java is its platform," referring to GlassFish, the server reference implementation of Java EE 6.

GlassFish have it continued, should also find an update later this year.

The next GlassFish 3.1 will offer features clustering and replication states. Virtualization will be provided in another update of GlassFish, scheduled for first half 2011.

Both spokesmen Oracle also revealed that the forthcoming Java Development Kit, aka JDK 7, would be the main new modularity, according to Kaul, should allow better performance and should be more scalable and ... modular.

For information, modularity was part of the Java Specification Request 294 in number compared with the version of JDK 7. Additional features result from the JSR 203, providing APIs for I / O, and 292, which advocates support for typed dynamic languages on the Java platform. Java EE 6 had also insisted on modularity.

Finally, Jeet Kaul ended his address by promising the audience that there would have a Java EE 7
