TIOBE Software has published the January Popularity of Programming Languages ​​ranking, which, compared to January 2021, highlights the movement of the Python language from third to first place. The languages ​​C and Java, respectively, have shifted to second and third places. The TIOBE Popularity Index bases its findings on the analysis of search query statistics on systems such as Google, Google Blogs, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, MSN, YouTube, QQ, Sohu, Bing, Amazon, and Baidu.

The popularity of Visual Basic, Scala, Lua, Perl, Julia, and Cobol has declined.

According to the IEEE Spectrum rating, Python is ranked first, Java is second, C is third, and C++ is fourth. This is followed by JavaScript, C#, R, Go. The IEEE Spectrum rating was prepared by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and takes into account a combination of 12 metrics obtained from 10 different sources (the method is based on the evaluation of search results for the query "{language_name} programming", the analysis of mentions on Twitter, the number of new and active repositories on GitHub, number of questions on Stack Overflow, number of posts on Reddit and Hacker News, jobs on CareerBuilder and Dice, mentions in the digital archive of journal articles and conference papers).

Based on GitHub popularity scores and Stack Overflow discussion activity, RedMonk's rankings show the top ten as follows: JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP, C#, C++, CSS, TypeScript, Ruby, C. Python from third to second place.
