TIOBE November Programming Language Index: Key Trends and Rankings

Recently the TIOBE November programming language index was released, highlighting notable changes and growth trends among popular languages.

Among the top four, Python, C, Java and C++ show positive growth, together accounting for 54.99% of the market share, whereas C# in the fifth position experiences a decline.

According to TIOBE, emerging languages often attract short‑term attention but rarely achieve lasting breakthroughs; however, Rust stands out as an exception, gaining rapid adoption thanks to backing from major companies and open‑source projects.

Other language movements include Lua climbing from rank 24 to 22, reflecting the appeal of high‑performance languages.

The article lists the full Top 20‑50 rankings (image) and provides the Top 51‑100 languages in alphabetical order (e.g., ABC, ActionScript, Alice, Apex, etc.).

It also presents the Top 10 programming languages (image) and a historical chart of their TIOBE index trends from 2002‑2022 (image).

Additional sections cover the “Programming Language Hall of Fame” (image) and explain the methodology behind the TIOBE index, which aggregates data from search engines and technical communities such as Google, Baidu, Wikipedia, Bing, and Hao123.

The index serves as a reference for assessing whether a developer’s skill set stays current and can guide language selection for new projects.
