You can use C# or VB for WP7.

The first line on the current Tiobe stats does not say Microsoft is falling out of favor. Here it is, "The rise of C# and Python are continuing in 2011. Both languages scored another all-time high this month and are now busy with overtaking PHP."

You also need to look at changes in how the numbers are figured. Baidu.com was added this month and it can skew the results not only for the month, but how a language is trending. Only after looking at the same figures over time can you gauge the effects of Baidu.

If you're basing your business and technical decisions over what happens in a single month, you are making bad decisions. You need to look at the trends. Yes, VB is trending down, but that does not mean Microsoft is abandoning it.


>So maybe he's wrong as your examples confirm. But still, there was more said here and not answered. For example: tiobe.com is reporting that all the .Net languages are falling (BTW python went from 7 to 4 in a year). And Java is far ahead even with Oracle's mis-handling of the open source world. Are the programers of the world dropping M$ in favor of open source? Could it be that the world programmers are aware of what happened to us!
