The TIOBE July 2024 index shows Rust soaring to a record‑high 13th place, while Visual Basic, Fortran, SQL, MATLAB, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Assembly and Kotlin shift positions, reflecting search‑engine‑driven popularity trends that, though not quality indicators, help developers gauge skill relevance and inform language selection for new projects.
TIOBE released its July 2024 programming language index. Rust jumped from rank 17 to a historic high of 13, reflecting growing community and government encouragement to replace C/C++.
Key movements include Visual Basic (9→8), Fortran (10→9), SQL (8→10), MATLAB (14→12), Ruby (18→14), PHP (15→16), Swift (12→17), Assembly (13→18), Kotlin (19→20), and others.
