TIOBE announced the December 2022Programming Language Ranking.

TIOBE will announce its 2022 programming language of the year next month, and there are currently three candidates: Python, C, and C++.TIOBE CEO Paul Jansen pointed out thatAlthough Python and C have won the title many times, C++ only won it once in 2003; but in this month’s TIOBE index, C++ has surpassed Java for the first time in history, and Java has now dropped to No. 4 on the list. This is the first time since the TIOBE index began in 2001 that Java has not entered the top 3. In addition, Kotlin and Julia are getting closer to Top 20.

Apart from C++ replaced Java and jumped to third place,Top 10 more SQL continues to rise one place toNo. 8 on the list, Assembly language was squeezed to No. 9;Other languages ​​are ranked unchanged.

Top The language ranking in the 11-20 interval fluctuates repeatedly.Children’s programming language Scratch briefly dropped from No. 23 to No. 17 on the list this month. Top 20 to the 21st place.At the same time, Perl has returned to Top 20 list,Climbed from No. 23 last month to No. 18 now;Go and The R language also switched places.

Specifically, the rankings have risen: R (12→11), Matlab (15→14), Swift (18→15), Ruby (19→17). The declines are:Go(11→12), Delphi/Object Pascal (14→16), Objective-C (16→19). Classic Visual Basic and Rust Keep the 13th and 20th positions respectively.

The TIOBE Programming Community index is a measure of the popularity of programming languages, which is updated monthly. Judging is based on a worldwide network of engineers, courses and third-party providers, including popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used for index calculations. It’s worth noting that the TIOBE index doesn’t represent how good a programming language is or how much code is written.

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date, or to make a decision on which programming language to use based on the index when starting to build a new software system.
