如果我们将当前的TIOBE指数排名与1年前（2021年5月）进行比较，C#是迄今为止所有编程语言中最受欢迎的。在过去的12个月里，它的排名上升了近2%。C#是现有最成熟的编程语言之一，支持许多现代编程范式。直到最近，它唯一的缺点是它对Linux的支持是有问题的，但最近几年这种情况正在迅速改变。因此，C#很有可能通过取代C进入TIOBE索引前3名。这个前 3 名位置的另一个有力竞争者是C++。在C++20的推动下，它的长期趋势肯定是向上的。

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.
