Notes
  •   Each language typically demonstrates one or two methods of accessing the data:
  •   The scraping and API solutions can be separate subsections, see the Tcl example.
  •   Filtering wrong results is optional.   You can check against Special:MostLinkedCategories (if using web scraping)
If you use the API, and do elect to filter, you may check your results against this complete, accurate, sortable, wikitable listing of all 944 programming languages, updated periodically, typically weekly.
  •   A complete ranked listing of all   813   languages (from the REXX example) is included here   ──►   output from the REXX program.

ALGOL 68

ALGOL68: using web scraping

Works with: ALGOL 68G version mk8+ for Unix and Linux - tested with release mk15-0.8b.fc9.i386 - uses non-standard library routines http content and grep in string.

Note: the routine http content is currently not available on Win32 systems.


This example is incorrect. Please fix the code and remove this message.

Details:
---among others, Tcl (the top dog) is missing.

  END;
  1. the main program rank languages by popularity starts here #

STRING gcmcontinue; FLEX[0]STRING lines;

  1. get through API in chunks of 500 #

WHILE

  1. Each line is one language,
 go through them and rewrite them to something we can sort #

FOR i TO UPB lines DO

  STRING line = lines[i];
  STRING title;
  INT pages := 0;

     pages := TOINT line[b+7:e-1]
  FI;
  lines[i] := field (pages, 6) + " " + title

OD;

lines := REVERSE SORT lines;

INT rank := 1; BOOL tied := FALSE, lasttied := FALSE; print ((new line, whole (UPB lines, 0), " languages", new line, new line)); FOR i TO UPB lines DO

AWK

Works with: Gawk

By using the API

This is the third solution. The first solution used web scraping with an external program ns for networking. The second solution used the Rosetta Code API instead of web scraping, but continued use of ns which for unknown reasons didn't work correctly. This solution uses native gawk networking to connect to the API at 500 items per request ("gmcontinue").

       result = array[start]

C

This example is incorrect. Please fix the code and remove this message.

Details: Compiles without error but "Segmentation fault" when run. Tested on Cygwin, SuSE Linux and Arch Linux (Manjaro)


This example is in need of improvement:

This solution uses an external program wget for networking, but it could use Library: libcurl (see Web scraping#C) for example. Also this solution scrapes Special:Categories &limit 5000 which will break if the HTML style changes or the number of languages exceeds 5000. It could use the MediWiki API to get the language names and pages in a single call, in blocks of 500 until complete with no upper limit. See the Awk example. If you make an API-based version please retain the web-scrapping version in its own sub-section (following the lead of TCL on this page).

    jq

    Works with: jq version 1.4

    The following solution matches the languages listed on the Category:Programming_Languages page with the statistics given on the Special:Categories page, making an adjustment for the number of irrelevant subcategories.

    jq 1.4 cannot retrieve documents over the web and has no support for regular expressions, but is intended to work seamlessly with other command line tools, so the following solution is presented in the form of a bash script that uses curl for retrieval, and grep and sed for screen scraping. <lang sh>#!/bin/bash

    1. produce lines of the form: [ "language", n ]

    function categories {

     curl -Ss 'http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=5000' |\
       grep "/wiki/Category:" | grep member | grep -v '(.*(' |\
       grep -v ' User</a>' |\
       sed -e 's/.*title="Category://' -e 's/member.*//'  |\
       sed 's:^\([^"]*\)"[^(]*(\(.*\):["\1", \2]:'
    

    }

    1. produce lines of the form: "language"

    function languages {

     curl -Ss 'http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Programming_Languages' |\
       sed '/Pages in category "Programming Languages"/,$d' |\
    
    grep '
  • <a href="/wiki/Category:' | fgrep title= |\ sed 's/.*Category:\([^"]*\)".*/"\1"/' } categories |\ /usr/local/bin/jq --argfile languages <(languages) -s -r ' # input: array of [score, _] sorted by score # output: array of [ranking, score, _] def ranking: reduce .[] as $x ([]; # array of [count, rank, score, _] if length == 0 then [[1, 1] + $x] else .[length - 1] as $previous | if $x[0] == $previous[2] then . + [ [$previous[0] + 1, $previous[1]] + $x ] else . + [ [$previous[0] + 1, $previous[0] + 1] + $x ] end end) | [ .[] | .[1:] ]; # Every language page has three category pages that should be excluded (reduce .[] as $pair ({}; ($pair[1] as $n | if $n > 3 then . + {($pair[0]): ($n - 3)} else . end ))) as $freq | [ $languages[] | select($freq[.] != null) | [$freq[.], .]] | sort | reverse | ranking[] | "\(.[0]). \(.[1]) - \(.[2])" '</lang>

    M2000 Interpreter

    Based on BBC BASIC idea, and using M2000 Rinstr() and objects as Inventories, Document, and Microsoft.XMLHTTP for downloading (async use). Results also copy to Clipboard. We can use Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP (code is the same, only name of object change).

    Update: Numbers above 999 get a comma (,) so we have to drop this using Filter$()

    Raku: Using the API

    Note that this counts only the tasks. It does not include other non-task categories in the counts yielding more realistic, non-inflated numbers. Raku is Unicode aware and handles non-ASCII names natively. This does not attempt to 'unify' different language names that are the same behind the scenes as a result of Rosettacodes' capitalization peculiarities. (E.G. μC++, UC++ & ΜC++)

    REXX

    (Native)   REXX doesn't support web-page reading,   so the aforementioned

      Rosetta Code categories       and
      Rosetta Code languages


    were downloaded to local files.


    This program reads the   Languages   file and uses the contents of that file for a validation of
    the   categories   file.   This essentially is a perfect filter for the   Rosetta Code categories   file.

    The   catHeap   variable in the REXX program is just a long string of all the records in the web-file of the
    Rosetta Code categories, with a special character (sep) that separates each language entry (name).

    The mechanism is to use a (sparse) stemmed array which holds only the names of languages which
    (for most REXXes) uses a hashing algorithm to locate the entry   (which is very fast).

    Programming note:   (REXX doesn't handle Unicode characters)   some special cases that are translated:

    •   ╬£C++                                  translated into   µC++          [Greek micro]
    •   ╨£╨Ü-61/52                         translated into   MK-61/52   [Cyrillic   МК-61/52])
    •   ??-61/52                              translated into   MK-61/52   [Cyrillic   МК-61/52])
    •   D├⌐j├á Vu                           translated into   Déjà Vu
    •   Cach├⌐                                translated into   Caché
    •   F┼ìrmul├ª                            translated into   Fôrmulæ
    •   α«ëα«»α«┐α«░α»ì/Uyir      translated into   Uyir
    •   ╨£iniZinc                             translated into   MiniZinc

    (The 3rd entry is most likely caused by the inability to render unsupported glyphs when it was first used to add that language.)


    Code was added to support the renaming of the computer programming language   Perl 6   ──►   Raku.

    Note that this REXX example properly ranks tied languages.

    This REXX version sorts the   tied   languages by language name.

    Ruby

    By using the API

    Works with: Ruby version 1.8.7

    Now that there are more than 500 categories, the URL given in the task description is insufficient. I use the RC API to grab the categories, and then count the members of each category.

    Uses the RosettaCode module from Count programming examples#Ruby <lang ruby>require 'rosettacode'

    langs = [] RosettaCode.category_members("Programming Languages") {|lang| langs << lang}

    1. API has trouble with long titles= values.
    2. To prevent skipping languages, use short slices of 20 titles.

    langcount = {} langs.each_slice(20) do |sublist|

     url = RosettaCode.get_api_url({
       "action" => "query",
       "prop" => "categoryinfo",
       "format" => "xml",
       "titles" => sublist.join("|"),
     })
    
     doc = REXML::Document.new open(url)
     REXML::XPath.each(doc, "//page") do |page|
       lang = page.attribute("title").value
       info = REXML::XPath.first(page, "categoryinfo")
       langcount[lang] = info.nil? ? 0 : info.attribute("pages").value.to_i
     end
    

    end

    puts Time.now puts "There are #{langcount.length} languages" puts "the top 25:" langcount.sort_by {|key,val| val}.reverse[0,25].each_with_index do |(lang, count), i|

     puts "#{i+1}. #{count} - #{lang.sub(/Category:/, )}"

    namespace eval rc {

       ### Utility function that handles the low-level querying ###
       proc rcq {q xp vn b} {
    

    upvar 1 $vn v dict set q action "query"

           # Loop to pick up all results out of a category query

       }
    
       ### API function: Iterate over the members of a category ###

    }

    1. Get the list of programming languages

    rc members "Programming Languages" lang {

       lappend langs $lang
    

    } puts stderr "" ;# Because of the progress dots... puts "There are [llength $langs] languages"

    1. Get the count of solutions for each, stripping "Category:" prefix

    rc count $langs l c {

       dict set langcounts [regsub {^Category:} $l {}] $c
    

    } puts stderr "" ;# Because of the progress dots...

    1. Print the output

    puts "Here are the top fifteen:" set langcounts [lsort -stride 2 -index 1 -integer -decreasing $langcounts] set i 0 foreach {lang count} $langcounts {

       puts [format "%1\$3d. %3\$3d - %2\$s" [incr n] $lang $count]
       if {[incr i]>=15} break
    

    }

    1. --- generate a full report, similar in format to REXX example

    proc popreport {langcounts} {

       set bycount {}
       foreach {lang count} $langcounts {
    

    dict lappend bycount $count $lang

       }
       set bycount [lsort -stride 2 -integer -decreasing $bycount]
       set rank 1
       foreach {count langs} $bycount {
    

    set tied [expr {[llength $langs] > 1 ? "\[tied\]" : ""}] foreach lang $langs { puts [format {%15s:%4d  %-12s %12s %s} rank $rank $tied "($count entries)" $lang] } incr rank [llength $langs]

       }
    

    }

    popreport $langcounts</lang>

    Output:

    Using cURL and YAJL (yet anothe JSON library) libraries.

    This solution using the API as the web scraping URL is pretty slow. I'm using JSON as format=txt has been deprecated. <lang zkl>var [const] CURL=Import("zklCurl"), YAJL=Import("zklYAJL")[0];

    fcn getLangCounts(language){ // -->( (count,lang), ...)

      continueValue,tasks,curl := "",List(), CURL();  // "nm\0nm\0...."
      do{	// eg 5 times
         page:=curl.get(("http://rosettacode.org/mw/api.php?"
            "format=json"
    

    "&action=query" "&generator=categorymembers" "&gcmtitle=Category:Programming%%20Languages" "&gcmlimit=500" "&prop=categoryinfo" "&rawcontinue" // remove warning "&gcmcontinue=%s") .fmt(continueValue));

         page=page[0].del(0,page[1]);  // get rid of HTML header
         json:=YAJL().write(page).close();
    
         json["query"]["pages"].howza(9).pump(tasks,fcn(d){ #dictionary values,only
            // { title:Category:AWK,categoryinfo:{ pages:398,size:401,... },... }
            // Gotta take care of no categoryinfo case
    

    count:=d.find("categoryinfo",Dictionary).find("size",0); // or pages? if(count<300) return(Void.Skip); // prune

            T(count,d["title"].del(0,9));     // "Category:RPL" --> "RPL"
         });
    
         if(continueValue=json.find("query-continue"))
         	// subcat|524558580a52455858|4331 or void
    

    continueValue=continueValue["categorymembers"]["gcmcontinue"];

      }while(continueValue);
      tasks
    

    }

    langCounts:=getLangCounts() .sort(fcn(a,b){ a[0]>b[0] }); // reverse sort

    println("Most popular Rosetta Code languages as of ",Time.Date.prettyDay()); foreach n,name in ([1..15].zip(langCounts))

      { println("%2d: %3d %s".fmt(n,name.xplode())) }</lang>
