“TIOBE Index for January 2023″
https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/
“C++ is TIOBE’s programming language of the year 2022. It has won this
title because C++ gained most popularity (+4.62%) in 2022. Runners up
are C (+3.82%) and Python (+2.78%). Interestingly, C++ surpassed Java
to become the number 3 of the TIOBE index in November 2022. The reason
for C++’s popularity is its excellent performance while being a high
level object-oriented language. Because of this, it is possible to
develop fast and vast software systems (over millions of lines of code)
in C++ without necessarily ending up in a maintenance nightmare.”
