December Headline: Kotlin and C candidates for programming language of the year

The programming languages Kotlin and C seems to be the only candidates to become programming language of the year 2017. TIOBE will announce the winner of this award next month. Thanks to the boost of small software devices and the increase of low level software in the automotive industry, the C programming language gained a lot of popularity in 2017. C is one of the oldest programming language alive. Its main competitor for the award, Kotlin, is relatively new. It was released in 2011 by JetBrains. Kotlin is a language that can run on a Java VM and has become popular because it has been accepted as an official Android language.
