#{{Note|popularity}}From the first column of the May, 2006 [http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm TIOBE Programming Community Index]. Languages are ranked sequentially from most popular to least popular based on the world-wide availability of skilled engineers, courses, and third party vendors. Google, MSN, and Yahoo are used to calculate the rank. In determining popularity forof a language, the language may include or exclude othercertain languagesdialects or derivativeslanguages. See what languages are included or excluded in the <i>Groupings and exceptions</i> chart below or [http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm here].

#{{Note|trend}}From the <i>Delta in Position</i> column of the May, 2006 [http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm TIOBE Programming Community Index]. This number indicates the language's change in popularity over the last year. In determining the usage trend for a language, the language may include or exclude othercertain languagesdialects or derivativeslanguages.
