C++ overtakes Java in language popularity index

For the first time ever, C++ outranks Java in the Tiobe language popularity index, which dates back to 2001. The most recent index edition revealed that Java has reached a new low.

C++ outranks Java in the Tiobe Programming Community Index for December 2002. For the first time in the index’s history, Java did not place among the top three languages.

According to Paul Jansen, CEO of software quality services provider Tiobe, “Performance is still very essential today and C++ is the quickest large system programming language out now.” The situation for Java is not hopeless, he insisted. Java currently has nothing to be concerned about.  I am saying this because it also grew in popularity in 2022 (plus-1.70%), but not as much as the top three languages.”
