Each year, the Programming Community’s TIOBE Directory decides who will receive the language of the year award. The main innovation in 2022 is C++, which is among the most popular, along with Python and C. crossed for the first time java In the history of the index beginning in 2001.
Python and C have already left their mark on the award, winning several times. C++ achieved this feat only about 20 years ago, in 2003. With the rise of this language, this is not the first time Java is on the podium. Despite this, the latter also grew in 2022.
“Performance is still very important today and C++ is the fastest major systems programming language on the market”, explained Paul Jansen, CEO of Tiobe. The language was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 and standardized in 1998.
Check out the top 10 programming languages according to the TIOBE index:
- Python – 16.66%
- C – 16.56%
- C++ – 11.94%
- Java – 11.82%
- C# – 4.92%
- Visual Basic – 3.94%
- JavaScript – 3.19%
- SQL – 2.22%
- Assembly Language – 1.87%
- PHP – 1.62%
The TIOBE directory lists programming languages and ranks them by frequency of internet searches, as well as the number of qualified engineers, courses, and third-party vendors worldwide. It uses the language name as a keyword and updates the ranking every month.
“It is worth emphasizing that TIOBE index is not about best programming language or the language in which most lines of code are written” emphasizes the explanation of the ordering.
