The nine-year-old programming language Rust is the star of the TIOBE Programming Language Neighborhood Index this month. The language Rust rose to quantity 13 from quantity 17, a leap from 0.93% within the proprietary TIOBE factors system in Might to 1.18% in July. The highest 10 listing of programming languages stayed largely regular, with Go hanging on to its spot at quantity 7 after a dramatic rise final month.
The TIOBE Programming Neighborhood Index exhibits tendencies in programming languages primarily based on search engine quantity.
Rust really useful by the US authorities
TIOBE Software program has been holding an in depth eye on Rust because it has step by step risen by the ranks.
“Gaining 4 positions might seem a small change, but Rust has been ‘the talk of the town’ the last couple of years without making much progress in the TIOBE index,” wrote TIOBE Software program CEO Paul Jansen within the July replace.
Rust was really useful by the U.S. authorities as a safer various to C or C++ as a result of it’s reminiscence protected, which has helped Rust climb by the ranks of the index. By way of TIOBE’s proprietary factors system, Rust grew 0.29% year-over-year to succeed in 1.18%, its highest-ever rating.
“The community is growing, including the number of third party libraries and tools,” Jansen stated. He predicted Rust is headed for the highest 10 within the TIOBE Index.

Different adjustments within the TIOBE Index in July
Go stays a programming language to observe within the TIOBE Index, with a leap from thirteenth place to seventh place year-over-year. C++ gained recognition barely, whereas C misplaced some recognition, however neither change was sufficient to modify the 2 languages’ high rankings.
