TIOBE Index for July 2024: Top 10 most popular programming languages

The TIOBE Programming Community Index’s top ten list remained stable this month, except for strong competition between Visual Basic, Fortran and SQL. Visual Basic’s popularity fell 0.82% year-on-year to 2.08% in July, ranking eighth, while Fortran’s popularity rose 0.80% year-on-year to 2.05% in ninth place. SQL’s popularity rose 0.57% year-on-year to 10th place in July.

Lower on the list, Rust reached an all-time high at #13. This could be a sign that there is enough institutional support and community growing to make Rust a potential contender in the top 10.

Top 10 Programming Languages ​​in July 2024

According to the TIOBE Programming Community Index, the top 10 programming languages ​​in July 2024 are:

1. Python: A general-purpose programming language commonly used for back-end development and data science. A good programming language for beginners.

2. C++: Very similar to C, except for classes and objects. C++ is suitable for game and systems development. It can be relatively difficult to learn.

3. C: A programming language often used in app and system development. Its syntax is similar to other popular languages, making it a useful branch for beginning developers.

4. Java: An exceptionally good language for AI, app, and web development. Learning Java requires relatively advanced skills.

5. C#Used in app, game, and web development, C# is an object and component-oriented programming language and is similar to the C and Java language families.

6. JavaScript: a scripting language often used for app, game, and web development, as well as web servers. JavaScript is simpler and more flexible than Java, making it unsuitable for some programming tasks but often easier to learn.

7. GoGo is a relatively easy-to-learn language that is good for back-end development and working with APIs and web services.

8. visual Basic: A programming language with a drag-and-drop user interface that is good for front-end and full-stack development.

9. Fortran: First used in the 1950s, Fortran was notable at the time because it could be written on any system, not just a specific computer. It is still used today in scientific research, engineering, and other cases.

10. SQLSQL is specifically for database programming.

Other movements in the top ten list in July

Other major ranking changes this month include Go jumping from 1.93% in June to 2.19% in July. Delphi/Object Pascal jumped from 1.52% in June to 1.89% in July and moved into the top 10 at 11th place, but is nowhere near its popularity peak in 2004.

What is the TIOBE Index?

The TIOBE Index is an indicator of which programming languages ​​are most popular in a given month. Paul Jensen, CEO of TIOBE Software, which owns it, says the index is not an award for the “best” language or a list of which programming language has the most code written in; instead, they use popular search engines to determine which languages ​​are most used among professional programmers, programming courses, and third-party vendors.
