For the fourth time in the last ten years, Tiobe has declared Python the overall winner of the year. The language is in a race with C++.

Python saw a whopping increase of 9.3% in the Tiobe popularity index during 2024, despite already being rated the most popular programming language.

Python, the number one programming language in the TIOBE Programming Language Community Index in August, has further solidified its place at the top.

Only twice in TIOBE Programming Index history has a language commanded such a high percentage of developers’ interest.

Python has its largest lead ever in Tiobe’s monthly index of programming language popularity, having jumped ahead of second-place C language by nearly 4.5 percentage points.
