2019's Fastest Growing Programming Language Was C, Says TIOBE

Which programming language saw the biggest jump on TIOBE's index of language popularity over the last year? Unlike last year -- it's not Python. An anonymous reader quotes TIOBE.com:It is good old language C that wins the award this time with an yearly increase of 2.4%... The major drivers behind this trend are the Internet of Things (IoT) and the vast amount of small intelligent devices that are released nowadays... Runners up are C# (+2.1%), Python (+1.4%) and Swift (+0.6%)... Other interesting winners of 2019 are Swift (from #15 to #9) and Ruby (from #18 to #11). Swift is a permanent top 10 player now and Ruby seems [destined] to become one soon. Some languages that were supposed to break through in 2019 didn't: Rust won only 3 positions (from #33 to #30), Kotlin lost 3 positions (from #31 to #35), Julia lost even 10 positions (from #37 to #47) and TypeScript won just one position (from #49 to #48). And here's the new top 10 programming languages right now, according to TIOBE's January 2020 index.JavaCPythonC++C# (up two positions from January 2019)Visual Basic .NET (down one position from January 2019)JavaScript (down one position from January 2019)PHPSwift (up six positions from January 2019)SQL (down one position from January 2019)
