languages. <p>We calculate a <b>top-site score</b> from the usage of a technology by top sites compared to its usage by average sites. The score is derived from measurements at several traffic levels, but roughly speaking, score 2 means that usage of the technology is twice as common among the top 1,000 sites than among all sites. Score -3 means that usage by all sites is three times as common as by the top 1,000 sites. Only technologies used by 10 sites or more are included in this report. See <a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies">technologies overview</a> for further explanations on the methodologies used in the surveys. <p>How to read the diagram:<br> Usage of Basic among top 1,000 sites is 70.0 times as common than among all sites.<table class=bars><tr><th><a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-basic">Basic</a><td><table class=bar><tr><td><div class="bar bar0 b0" style="width:124px"></div><td>70.0</table><tr><th><a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-erlang">Erlang</a><td><table class=bar><tr><td><div class="bar bar0 b0" style="width:39px"></div><td>3.7</table><tr><th><a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-js">JavaScript</a><td><table class=bar><tr><td><div class="bar bar0 b0" style="width:39px"></div><td>3.7</table><tr><th class=cap1><td class=cap1>W3Techs.com, 1 April 2025<tr><td class=cap2 colspan=2>Top-site scores for server-side programming languages</table><h3>More detailes statistics</h3><p>You can find top site usage data for all 23 server-side programming languages in our <nobr><a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/report/programming_language">server-side programming languages market report</a>.</nobr><h3>Share this page</h3><ul class="share-buttons"><script>document.write("<"+"li><"+"a href='mailto:?subject="+document.title+"&body="+document.title+" - https://w3techs.com/technologies/topsite/programming_language' title='Send email'><"+"img loading=lazy alt='Send email' src='https://w3techs.com/pictures/Email.svg' width=40 height=40><"+"/a>")</script><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fw3techs.com%2Ftechnologies%2Ftopsite%2Fprogramming_language&title=" title="Share on LinkedIn" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" onclick="window.open('https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fw3techs.com%2Ftechnologies%2Ftopsite%2Fprogramming_language&title=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + '', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400'); return false;"><img loading=lazy alt="Share on LinkedIn" src="https://w3techs.com/pictures/LinkedIn.svg" width=40 height=40></a><li><a href="https://bsky.app/intent/compose?text= - https%3A%2F%2Fw3techs.com%2Ftechnologies%2Ftopsite%2Fprogramming_language&via=W3Techs" title="Post on Bluesky" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" onclick="window.open('https://bsky.app/intent/compose?text=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + '%20-%20https%3A%2F%2Fw3techs.com%2Ftechnologies%2Ftopsite%2Fprogramming_language&via=W3Techs', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400'); return false;"><img loading=lazy alt="Post on Bluesky" src="https://w3techs.com/pictures/Bluesky.png" width=30 height=30 style="padding-bottom:7px;"></a></ul><td class=tech_add><table class=t_brief><tr><th>Technology Brief<tr><td><b>Server-side Programming Languages</b><tr><td>A programming language defines the computer instructions which are used to write programs that perform some task, e.g. composing a web page.</table><br><br><table class=t_brief><tr><th>Latest related posting  <a href="https://w3techs.com/blog/category/programming_language" rel="nofollow">read all</a><tr><td><b>Web technology fact of the day</b><br>7 January 2025<tr><td><p><a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-js">JavaScript</a> as server-side programming language is used by 4% of all websites, up from 3.1% one year ago.</p> <a href="https://w3techs.com/blog/entry/fact_20250107">» more</a></table><br><br><script>var _ama_pid=_ama_pid||Math.floor(Math.random()*2147483647);document.write('\x3Cscript src="https://b.w3techs.com/ajs/2/7/'+_ama_pid+'/'+encodeURIComponent(window.location)+'">\x3C/script>');</script><a class=no_und href="https://b.w3techs.com/">advertise here</a><br><br></table></div> <div id=ft> <a href="https://w3techs.com/about" class=no_und rel=nofollow>About Us</a> <a href="https://w3techs.com/disclaimer" class=no_und rel=nofollow>Disclaimer</a> <a href="https://w3techs.com/terms_of_use" class=no_und rel=nofollow>Terms of Use</a> <a href="https://w3techs.com/privacy_policy" class=no_und rel=nofollow>Privacy Policy</a> <a href="https://b.w3techs.com/" class=no_und>Advertising</a> <a href="https://w3techs.com/feedback" class=no_und rel=nofollow>Contact</a> </div> <div id=social_ft> W3Techs on   <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/w3techs"><img loading=lazy src="https://w3techs.com/pictures/LinkedIn.svg" alt="LinkedIn"> LinkedIn</a> <a rel="me" href="https://techhub.social/@w3techs"><img loading=lazy src="https://w3techs.com/pictures/Mastodon.svg" alt="Mastodon"> Mastodon</a> <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/w3techs.com"><img loading=lazy src="https://w3techs.com/pictures/Bluesky.png" alt="Bluesky"> Bluesky</a> </div> <div id=cp>Copyright © 2009-2025 Q-Success<br><br> </div></div>
