Popularity, interoperability, and impact of programming languages in 100,000 open source projects
Programming languages have been proposed even before the era of the modern computer. As years have gone, computer resources have increased and application domains have expanded, leading to the proliferation of hundreds of programming languages, each attempting to improve over others or to address ne...
