June Headline: Rust enters the TIOBE index top 20 for the first time

Almost 10 years after its birth, programming language Rust enters the TIOBE index top 20 for the first time. Is this surprising? Rust has been awarded "the most loved programming language" by Stackoverflow users for the last 5 years. In a row! The main reason for this is that Rust is a system programming language that is done right. All the verbose programming and sharp edges of other languages are solved by Rust while being statically strongly typed. Its type system prevents run-time null pointer exceptions and memory management is calculated compile-time. So no garbage collection that suddenly kicks in. We have D, Lua and Julia trying to beat C and C++ but Rust seems to be the first one to come really close. Let's see whether it can keep this top 20 position in the years to come. - Paul Jansen CEO TIOBE Software

The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. It is important to note that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been written.

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system. The definition of the TIOBE index can be found here.
