June Programming Language Rankings

The latest TIOBE Programming Community index for June 2024 has been released, as shown in the figure:

The TIOBE Programming Community index is calculated based on the number of engineers worldwide, courses, popular websites, and third-party vendors, and it reflects the popularity and trends of programming languages. It does not represent the superiority or inferiority of the languages.

Here are the key changes in this ranking:

June 24 Programming Language Ranking Changes

1. Python remains at the top

A long time ago, Python had already secured its position at the top of the rankings, and this time it has increased by 2.93%. What does that mean? The score it gained this month is higher than the total score of the Go language!

This was predictable, as Python, with its simple and easy-to-learn syntax and wide range of applications such as data science, machine learning, web development, and web crawling, has attracted a large number of developers. The recent boom in AI has also given Python another boost.

For friends who are learning programming languages as a hobby, Python is a good choice. However, considering job prospects in China, there are many fewer positions for Python in web development compared to Java, making it more suitable for those interested in big data, algorithms, and product development.

2. C++ Surpasses C Language for the First Time in History

The most significant change in this ranking is that C++ has surpassed the C language for the first time, jumping to second place.

C++ can be understood as the "advanced version" of C language, offering not only high performance but also support for object-oriented programming and many new features.

I believe it is inevitable that C++'s popularity has surpassed that of C, just as the relationship between Java and C++. In today's environment, languages that are easier to use are more likely to be favored by the majority of developers.

The rise of C++ is mainly due to its high performance and modern features. Although it is more difficult to learn than Java, its key position in high-performance application scenarios such as system programming, game development, image processing, and audio and video processing is unshakable. In addition, C++ is also a mainstream language for embedded development and desktop client development.

As for whether to choose C++ or Java for job prospects in China, it depends on individual perspectives. I wrote an article a long time ago to share my views.

3. Go Language Breaks into the Top 7

In the past year, the ranking of Go language has rapidly climbed from 14th to 7th, which is also worth our attention.

The advantages of Go language are its concise syntax and high performance. Its built-in concurrency mechanism makes concurrent programming simple and efficient, which is why it is widely used in the development of network programming, cloud computing, microservices, and distributed systems.

For most of our developer friends, an obvious advantage of Go language is the incredibly fast project startup speed. Traditional Spring Boot Java projects may take more than ten seconds to start, while Go language might take less than 1 second, making it very suitable for rapid scaling in cloud-native scenarios. We are familiar with projects like Docker, K8S, and Etcd, all of which are developed using Go language.

Java has also long felt the threat from Go language, hence the introduction of cloud-native development frameworks like Quarkus. I have played around with it for a while, and the project startup speed is also very fast, but the ecosystem is not yet mature.

Nowadays, the community and ecosystem of Go language are becoming more and more prosperous, with many libraries, frameworks, and tools already in place. Therefore, more and more companies both domestically and internationally are using Go language, and this ranking is not surprising.

As a result, there is a voice in the domestic community forums: Should we switch from Java to Go language?

私の提案は、やみくもに切り替えないことです。強力な自己学習能力を持つ学生は、まだ Java に触れたことがない場合は、Go から学習を始めることができます。しかし、平均的な自己学習能力を持つ学生は、Java の学習に専念する方がよいでしょう。中国では Java を学習するためのリソースが豊富すぎて、さまざまなチュートリアル、プロジェクト、体験投稿があり、Go 言語とは比較にならないからです。さらに、現在、バックエンド開発シナリオでは Java と Go の両方が主流です。バックエンド開発にとって、言語は単なるツールおよび基盤にすぎません。言語自体と対応する開発フレームワークに加えて、データベース、キャッシュ、キュー、検索エンジン、Linux、分散システム、高同時実行性、デザイン パターン、アーキテクチャ設計など、学習すべき他のバックエンド開発テクノロジは普遍的です。 。したがって、他のテクノロジにすぐに触れるには、リソースが豊富な Java を最初に学習する方が有益です。

4. いくつかの新興言語

昨年と比較すると、過去最高位の 17 位にランクインした Rust など、急速に発展しているプログラミング言語がいくつか確認できます。メモリの安全性と高いパフォーマンスで知られる Rust は、これまで C/C++ が独占してきたシステム プログラミングの分野でますますシェアを獲得しつつあります。

さらに、2024 年と 2023 年の比較グラフに示されているように、Swift、Kotlin、Fortran などの言語のランキングも大幅に向上しました。

その他のランキング

最後に、誰もが開発傾向を理解できるように、TIOBE プログラミング コミュニティ インデックスの他のランキングを共有しましょう。

21位から50位まではプログラミング言語がランクインしました。

51位から100位までのプログラミング言語:

ABC、ActionScript、Apex、APL、AutoLISP、bc、CFML、Chapel、CHILL、CLIPS、Clojure、COMAL、Crystal、cT、Elixir、Erlang、Forth、Groovy、Hack、Icon、Inform、Io、J、JScript 、ラダー ロジック、Lingo、LPC、M4、MEL、Modula-2、Mojo、NATURAL、NetLogo、OpenCL、OpenEdge ABL、PowerScript、コーディング技術を使用しないプログラミング、Q、RPG、Smalltalk、Smarty、SNOBOL、SPARK、SQR、VHDL、 WebDNA、Wolfram、X++、X10、yacc

Erlang については少し残念です。 RabbitMQ のような有名な製品があるにもかかわらず、まだ十分に普及していません。
