TIOBE November Programming Language Index: Rust’s Rise and the Latest Top 20 Rankings

The latest TIOBE November programming language index has been released, highlighting notable shifts such as Rust’s unstoppable rise into the top four.

In this month’s ranking, Python, C, Java and C++ remain in the top four with positive growth, together accounting for 54.99% of the market share, while C# shows a negative trend.

According to TIOBE CEO Paul Jansen, languages like Kotlin, Dart and Julia have struggled to break into the top 20, with Rust being the sole exception due to strong backing from major companies and open‑source projects.

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

The article lists the full Top 20‑50 programming language rankings (image shown) and provides a textual list of ranks 51‑100, which are sorted alphabetically because their values are very close.

It also presents a chart of the Top 10 language index trends from 2002‑2022 and a historical ranking overview from 1987‑2022 (both illustrated with images).

Finally, the “Programming Language Celebrity” ranking (2003‑2021) is displayed, accompanied by an explanation of how the TIOBE index is calculated using data from engineers, courses, and third‑party sources such as Google, Baidu, Wikipedia, CSDN, Bing, and Hao123.

Overall, the TIOBE index serves as a useful indicator of language popularity for assessing personal skill relevance and guiding language choices in new system development.
