Groovy moves and grooves right back to the top 20 for the TIOBE Index. What else is shaking on this programming pop chart? Well, Java continues to rock, TypeScript took a bit of a tumble, and SQL is going steady.

Hiss hiss, developers! What programming languages did we fall in love with in 2018? TIOBE knows the score – Python is their programming language of 2018! This language has revitalized itself into a massive part of the modern internet ecosystem.

Although the top 10 list for TIOBE tends to stay the same, there’s been an awful lot of jostling over the #10 spot. This month, Swift regains lost momentum and crests the horizon as Java defends its crown and JavaScript sinks a spot.

TypeScript made the TIOBE top 100 last month. This trend continues onward, as TypeScript manages a magnificent leap upwards, Java stays on top, and scripting languages like Perl continue to drop.

Slow and steady wins the race as TypeScript finally joins the TIOBE top 100. This month on the programming pop charts, Java continues to dominate, SQL and R show improvement, and Go drops another spot or two.

Big changes on the popular programming language index, as Scala leaps upwards to crack the top twenty. It’s not the only major adjustment for May’s TIOBE Index, as Google’s re-indexing causes titanic shifts for Go, R, and Swift.

Big news for the TIOBE Index, as SQL rejoins the top 20 after a long hiatus. This month, Java reigns supreme, Python jumps past C#, and Swift continues to freefall.

Something old, something new. Kotlin and C are the two candidates that have what it takes to become the programming language of the year, according to the latest TIOBE index. The winner will be announced next month but, in the meantime, let’s see why Kotlin deserves to win.

The ascendancy of Python masks a serious question: where are all the other scripting languages? According to the TIOBE Index for November 2017, other dynamically typed languages like Perl, PHP, and Ruby may be on a gentle decline.

We’ve recently noticed a change in readers’ interest towards Swift but then again, in tech, everything changes at the speed of light. However, we’re not the only ones who noticed that — according to this month’s TIOBE index, Swift is losing popularity. What triggered the change? We can only speculate.

No bad blood, just mad love. Swift has finally hit the top ten popular programming languages and all we can say is about time.

Java has cracked another popularity milestone on the TIOBE Index, racking up ratings of over 20 per cent. Thanks to the recent JavaOne conference, Java’s domination of the sometimes controversial ranking is a force to be reckoned with.

The TIOBE Index has gone ahead and fixed its algorithm to make sure its results are more accurate, which has been a bugbear for many in the past. Java-heads will be happy to see that despite the improvement, Java still reigns supreme. Long live Java!

However you look at it, language rankings are often used to make a strategic decision about what programming language to adopt for your next project. We take a look at the technology radars out there that are worth your time and understanding.
