Kotlin, Swift, and Ruby losing popularity
SMRTR summary
Kotlin, Swift, and Ruby have fallen out of the top 20 in the Tiobe programming language popularity index. These languages appear to be losing traction and declining in use. Tiobe's CEO attributes this to factors like the rise of cross-platform development tools and Python's dominance. The top 20 languages now cover over 83% of the market, indicating a preference for established technologies. Python remains the most popular language in both the Tiobe and PYPL rankings for April 2025.
