Programming Language Rankings: Python, Rust, and JavaScript Lead the Pack
2025-05-12
The May programming language rankings are in! Python maintains its top spot thanks to its ease of use and widespread adoption, while Rust continues its rise due to its performance and security features. JavaScript remains a dominant force in web development. This month's notable news includes a C++ workshop on safe and efficient embedded development, the stable release of Kotlin Compose Multiplatform, and the release of Python 3.14.0 beta 1. Rankings vary slightly across different indices (PyPL, TIOBE, GitHub Pushes), but Python, JavaScript, and C-family languages consistently rank highly, reflecting their influence across various domains.
