The Tiobe index ranks programming languages by popularity every month. Let’s see which is currently the most popular programming language!
The index is compiled by Tiobe Software and is based on data from various sources, such as search results, educational courses, developer community activity, and other online sources. The Tiobe index does not necessarily reflect the actual use of a language. Still, it does indicate which languages are at the forefront of developers and industry. The index is often used to analyze language trends and demand for programming skills.
Well, on this index, the Python programming language reached its highest-ever rating of 18.04% in August 2024.
This is the first time since Java’s 18% rating in 2016 that a language has scored this high. Python has been leading the index since October 2021, mainly because it is easy to learn and in high demand for software engineers. Python is currently eight percentage points ahead of second-placed C++.
