Unsurprisingly, Python has occupied the top spot for 7 consecutive months since October last year. MATLAB, which is mainly used in the field of numerical analysis, plummeted from 15th last month to 20th, and is about to fall out of the top 20. This is the first time MATLAB has been in the past 10 years.
Although MATLAB's update cycle is twice a year, its development speed and update range are not very significant. Moreover, MATLAB's licensing fees have always been quite expensive, and now its alternatives are quickly catching up - MATLAB's main competitors are Python (currently ranked No. 1) and Julia (up from 32nd to 26th this month) .
Compared with last month’s TOP 20 list, no one fell out or entered the list this month Language, there are only some ranking changes between languages:
Due to the small numerical difference between them, only the programming language names are listed (in alphabetical order):
ABC, Apex, AutoIt, bc, BCPL, Bourne shell, CFML, CL (OS/400), Clipper, CLIPS, Crystal, cT, DCL, Elm, Erlang, EXEC, F#, GML, GNU Octave, Hack, Icon, IDL, Inform , Io, J#, Ladder Logic, LiveCode, LPC, MDX, Mercury, ML, MQL4, MUMPS, NATURAL, Oberon, OCaml, OpenEdge ABL, PostScript, Pure Data, Q, Racket, REXX, Ring, S-PLUS, Scheme, Smalltalk, Snap!, SPARK, Stata, Vala/Genie
TIOBE Programming Community index (The TIOBE Programming Community index) is an indicator that measures the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated monthly. Judges are drawn from engineers, courses and third-party vendors worldwide, including popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used in the index calculation. It’s important to note that the TIOBE index does not represent the quality of a programming language or how much code is written.
This index can be used to check whether your programming skills can still keep up with the times, or to make decisions about which programming language to use when starting to build a new software system.
The definition of the TIOBE index and detailed information on the TIOBE April list can be found on the official website.
