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.

The index, based on search engine queries and developer activity, measures language popularity but not quality. It can help developers assess skill relevance or guide language choices for new projects.
