The CEO of Tiobe, Paul Jansen, says that Ada, a systems programming language whose initial development dates back to the end of the 1970s, could last more than the languages aged in a similar way as Visual Basic, Perl and Fortra in the language popularity career.
In comments on this month Tiobe Language Popularity IndexPublished on July 9, Jansen said that the index has not seen many changes between the main languages such as Python, C#and Java in the last two years. But there is more movement among the oldest languages such as Visual Basic, SQL, Fortran, Ada, Perl and Delphi, Jansen said.
Every time one of these languages is expected to remain in the top 10, it is replaced by another language, he said. Even more markedly, the newest languages have not yet raised those that are above them. “Where are Rust, Kotlin, Dart and Julia? Apparently, the established languages are hot.” While it is difficult to know which of the oldest languages will continue to hold, Jansen said he would bet on Ada. “With the increasingly extreme security demands, Ada is, as a system programming language in the critical security domain, probably the best survivor.” ADA occupies the 10th positionth In this month’s index, although it is linked to Delphi/Object Pascal.
