Summary of the TIOBE Programming Language Index for January 2026:
- **2025 Language **: C#. C#has won this title for the second time in three years, with the largest increase in the annual ranking; it has followed new trends and completed the transformation of cross-platform and open source, and has yet to win the competition with Java in the commercial software field.
- ** Changes in the 2025 list **:
- C and C++ exchanged the top ten rankings. C maintains its advantage due to its adaptation to the embedded market, and the popularity of new features (such as modules) of C++ is insufficient;
- Perl rebounded from 32nd to 11th (back in the top 20), and R returned to the top 10 due to data science growth;
- Go fell out of the top ten and Ruby fell out of the top 20, making it difficult to return in the short term.
- **2026 forecast **: TypeScript is expected to enter the top 20, and Zig may enter the top 30.
