TIOBE December list: C# is expected to hit the "Annual Programming Language Award", PHP regrets falling out of the top ten

Recently, TIOBE announced the programming language index ranking list for December. Among them, Python, C, and Java still rank among the top three, while PHP has unfortunately fallen out of the top ten, and C# may be expected to hit the "TIOBE Annual Programming Language Award".

It is reported that TIOBE will announce the "TIOBE Annual Programming Language Award" next month, which will be selected among the highest-rated programming languages in 2021. Currently, C# is regarded as the candidate most likely to earn this title.

TIOBE CEO Paul Jansen said that C# has never won the "TIOBE Indexed Programming Language of the Year Award" in its 21-year history, although it has been among the top ten in the past 20 years. Let us look forward to the surprise next month. !

Among the top 10 of this TIOBE index list, Python has dominated the list for three consecutive months; the biggest change in the ranking is PHP, which ranked 10th last month, and has fallen to 12th this month, replacing it. It is Swift (14th last month, this month rose to 10th). The ranking of the other top ten languages is the same as last month.

Among the 11-20 on the list, compared to last month, R has risen from 15th to 11th, Delphi/Object Pascal has risen from 17th to 16th, and Fortran has risen from 19th to 17th.

At the same time, PHP dropped from the 10th place last month to the 12th place, Classic Visual Basic dropped from the 11th place last month to the 13th place, Groovy dropped from the 12th place last month to the 14th place, and Ruby From the 13th place last month to the 15th place, Perl dropped from the 16th place last month to the 18th place, and GO also dropped from the 18th place last month to the 19th place, about to fall out of the front 20th place, while MATLAB ranks the same as last month, and this month is still ranked 20th.

Among the 21-50 places on the list, what is more interesting is that Kotlin went from No. 33 last month to No. 26 this month, which has changed a lot.

The 51-100 places on the list are as follows: due to the small differences in the scores of the language rankings, they are only listed in text form and sorted in alphabetical order)

About TIOBE

The TIOBE programming community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated monthly. The rating is based on the number of skilled engineers, courses and third-party suppliers worldwide. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube, and Baidu are all used for index calculations.

It should be noted that the TIOBE index does not represent the quality of the language. The index can be used to check whether the developer’s programming skills are still up-to-date, or when starting to build a new software system, the corresponding programming language is used to make strategic decision making.
