  • The popularity of C continues, with the top three programming languages — Python, C and Java — all up 1%. In the first month of 2022, Python was also the programming language of the year. February was the fifth time Python had topped the list, following 2007, 2010, 2018 and 2020. So what’s new in the major programming languages in February?
  • Here’s a look at February’s programming language rankings:
  • TOP 20 programming languages
  • Among the top five programming languages, all of them increased month-on-month except for C, which fell 2.26 percent, the third straight month of decline, and Python, which rose 4.47 percent.
  • TOP 10 Programming Language TIOBE Index trends (2002-2022) :
  • A list of the TOP 21-50 programming languages:
  • Here is the historical ranking of the top 10 programming languages (averaged over a 12-month period) :
  • Here are two important points:
  • 1. There is a difference between “Visual Basic “and “Visual Basic” in the above table. Before 2010 “(Visual) Basic” meant all possible dialects of Basic, including Visual Basic. After some discussion, we decided to split “(Visual) Basic” into all dialects, such as Visual Basic.net, Classic Visual Basic, PureBasic and Small Basic, to name a few. Because Visual Basic.NET has become the primary implementation of Visual Basic, it is now referred to as “Visual Basic”.
  • 2. The programming language SQL had been missing in the TIOBE index for several years, until it was pointed out in 2018 that SQL was Turing complete and became part of the TIOBE index again. So even though the language is very old, it only has a short list of languages in the index
  • It’s worth noting that the TIOBE index does not represent a good or bad language, and developers can use the list to check whether their programming skills need updating or to choose a language when starting to build new software.
