“C is at the top of the list of [TIOBE’S Index](https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) for February 2021 with Java in second place,” [reports TechRepublic](https://www.techrepublic.com/article/c-java-and-python-hold-onto-the-top-3-spots-in-the-tiobe-index-for-february-2021/):

_Those two languages swapped positions on the list as compared to 2020, but the rest of the list is almost exactly the same as a year ago. Python is in the No. 3 spot followed by C++, C#, Visual Basic, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL._

 

_Assembly Language rounds out the top 10 list, up from spot 12 in 2020. R moved up two spots over the last year from 13 to 11. Groovy jumped to the 12h spot, up from 26 a year ago. Classic Visual Basic is on the rise also moving up four spots to 18._  
For what it’s worth, in the last year Go has dropped to #13 on the list — overtaken by assembly language, R, and Groovy.

And Swift dropped from #10 to #15, also being overtaken in the last year by Ruby.
