The TIOBE index is compiled monthly based on the number of skilled engineers, courses, and third‑party vendors worldwide, using data from search engines and technical communities such as Google, Baidu, and Wikipedia.
These data reflect current trends in mainstream programming languages and can serve as a reference for learning and career decisions, though each language has its own suitable application scenarios.
