- Proprietary rating systems saw a 22.85 percent increase in popularity in November.
- In second place, C++ rose from 10.64 percent in November to 10.82 percent in December, perhaps signaling a recovery after a long slide in popularity that began in February.
- In third place, Java’s popularity rose slightly from 9.6% to 9.72%.
Tube Programming Community Index Shows trends in programming languages based on search engine volume.
What will be the best of the year?
Every year, Taub Software calculates its Programming Language of the Year – the language with the highest growth in rankings over the course of the year. Python added 10%, putting it well ahead of runners-up Java and JavaScript, which saw gains of +1.73% and +1.72%, respectively.
“Python stands out thanks to its support for AI and data mining, its large collection of libraries, and its ease of learning,” Johnson wrote.
Look: HTML tables Can spruce up a website and don’t take much time to learn.
However, the index is always changing. How long will Python maintain this popularity?
Now when some say that Ai As the bubble is about to burst, Johnson said, plus the fact that demand for high-speed languages is increasing rapidly, Python may start to plateau. “Let’s see if that happens.”
Kotlin retreat, down three refs
Some interesting moves have occurred near the bottom of the top 10 list.
SQL and Visual Basic overtook Fortran in eighth, ninth, and 10th, respectively. Last month, we pointed out that Fortran can be used for numerical analysis and computational mathematics, which are key to productive AI. Fortran’s loss in popularity may also be a one-off. However, patterns in the Tube index are often seen over longer periods of time, not just month over month.
In other news, Kotlin dropped out of the top 20 in December. “It just doesn’t seem to be the next big language that everyone will be talking about,” Johnson said in an email to TechRepublic.
Rust, the rust contender, is closing in on the top 50. However, Johnson said, Zieg is climbing more slowly than he expected.
