I would put my bets on Dart (with Flutter) and TypeScript. Maturity of the Julia language and community is needed to get a second chance. Julia touched the TIOBE index briefly in 2023, but couldn't keep that position. Interesting question: what languages will enter the TIOBE index top 20 in 2024? This is very hard to predict. Kotlin is the easy to learn/write competitor of Java. Fortran is very fit to crunch numbers with good libraries and remains a university favorite in lots of domains. Fortran and Kotlin became permanent top 20 players replacing old-time favorites R and Perl. C# is here to stay and might even surpass Java soon.Īpart from C#, there were a lot of interesting changes in the TIOBE index last year. C# can be used free of charge and evolves in a steady pace, making the language more expressive every new release. C# is eating market share from Java and is getting more and more popular in domains such as web application back ends and games (thanks to Unity). Congratulations! C# has been a top 10 player for more than 2 decades and now that it is catching up with the big 4 languages, it won the well-deserved award by being the language with the biggest uptick in one year (+1.43%).
