> C++ surpassed Java for the first time in the history of the TIOBE index.

Wow.

11.94% vs 11.82%

The difference in ratings is statistically insignificant?

I’m not using either one these days but I’m not sure why C++ would be increasing more than Java.

Does this mean Rust is not taking anything away from C++?

I agree, but it's also important to notice that C++ changes by 4.21%!

Surprised how low JS is on there.

Really hard to take any list like this seriously when they have js at number 7 and Delphi ahead of typescript...

You will then prefer the IEEE Spectrum ranking : https://spectrum.ieee.org/top-programming-languages-2022

Interesting that the correlation between all of these "top X" lists is pretty weak...

Each one uses a different metric: search engines, job offers, github projects, Stackoverflow threads... It would be interesting to find one that combines them all!

I am not saying the list is correct, but we all kind of live in a bubble, last week i met a customer they have 12 dev and all write....wait for it...ColdFusion! On something called lucee. I would have predicted that in 2000-2008 but today?? Well he said they are pretty happy with it, it runs it works..i am happy for them.

How is Ruby lower ranked than Delphi & visual basic!?

The crazy thing is that Java went up a percentage point. The story here (seems to me) is that a bunch of languages are cratering [at least according to Tiobe], not that python,c,c++ or java are growing.

Good! The JVM is written in C++. I'm glad C++ is on the rise!
