Programming language rankings in September 2017: How long can the three giants Java, C and C++ dominate the rankings?

[51CTO.com Quick Translation] For the past 16 years (since 2001), the top three positions in the TIOBE programming language rankings have been occupied by Java, C, and C++. Although C# and Python have been widely recognized as the core programming languages ​​of the next generation, they are still not fully reflected in terms of popularity. The main reason why C# cannot enter the top three is that its adoption rate in non-Windows fields is still not ideal. On the other hand, Python's dynamic typing characteristics make developers reluctant to use it in large and/or critical software systems. However, it must be admitted that the gap between the big three and other programming languages ​​is rapidly narrowing. After the big three gradually lose their overwhelming advantage, it is still difficult to give a conclusion on how the future prospects will change.

In fact, the current trend shows that hybrid usage is becoming mainstream. Applications developed in a single programming language are becoming increasingly rare. According to this development process, more languages ​​with reduced popularity will appear on the TIOBE rankings in the future. The exciting moment has finally arrived. I believe that everyone, like us, is looking forward to seeing what fate various programming languages ​​will usher in in the next few years, and which languages ​​will be able to ascend to the top three in the new era.
