A programming index has placed C++ as the fastest growing language of the pack, indicating that the new C++20 standard might be one of the main causes it is beating other languages such as R and C#.
“Back in 2003, the programming language C++ was a real winner,” said Paul Jansen, CEO of TIOBE Software.”It peaked at 17.53% in August 2003, being close to the number #2 position and becoming the winner of the programming language award of 2003. From then on C++ went downhill. After 2005 it didn’t hit 10% anymore and in 2017 it scored an all-time low of 4.55%.”
Compared to last year, C++ is now the fastest growing language of the pack, Jansen continued.
“I think that the new C++20 standard might be one of the main causes for this. Especially because of the new modules feature that is going to replace the dreadful include mechanism. C++ beats other languages with a positive trend such as R and C#. On the other hand, Java is in real trouble with a loss of -3.18% in comparison to last year,” Jansen said.
Top programming languages in the TIOBE Index for September 2020 are:
The TIOBE Programming Community index is updated monthly. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube, and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings.
Data analyst roles have an average of 26,000 online searches per month, according to one software testing services and training company. Web developer positions are the next most sought-after, with 16,000 online searches a month.
The study also found that Python is the programming language Americans most intend to learn. Other programming languages Americans are keen to master include SQL, Java, and JavaScript.
