The Kotlin, Swift, and Ruby languages have slipped from their prime 20 positions within the Tiobe index of programming language recognition. All three appear to have misplaced traction and to be in decline, in line with Tiobe CEO Paul Jansen.
Revealed April 7, the most recent launch of the Tiobe Programming Neighborhood index reveals all three languages falling from final month. “The programming languages Kotlin, Ruby, and Swift all held very steady prime 20 positions within the Tiobe index till not too long ago,” Jansen wrote in his official commentary on the April index. “However now they appear to have misplaced traction and are more likely to exit of style.”
For April, Ruby, Kotlin, and Swift have been ranked twenty fourth by way of twenty sixth, respectively. Kotlin and Swift have declined within the rankings as a result of they’re each primarily used for a selected cellular platform, Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS, Jansen mentioned. There are different sufficiently good languages and frameworks to make use of for cross-platform growth now, Jansen mentioned. Since Python has develop into the lingua franca of the programming world, there may be not a lot room left for Ruby, he added.
