TIOBE’s 2022 Programming Language of the Year: C++

TIOBE recently named C++ the top programming language of 2022, outscoring Rust, C#, Go, and others. 

Although Python remains the most popular language overall, TIOBE chose the winner based on its growth in popularity. The top five languages in terms of popularity growth are:

  • C++ (+4.62%)
  • C (+3.82%)
  • Python (+2.78%)
  • Java (+1.55%)
  • JavaScript (+0.78%)

“The reason for C++'s popularity is its excellent performance while being a high-level, object-oriented language,” TIOBE says. Another reason is its "recent and constant publication of new language standards with interesting features.”
