The TIOBE website recently released the programming index information for January. The top three programming languages this month are Java, C, and Python, with C++ and C# ranking fourth and fifth.
TIOBE Annual Programming Language
The TIOBE Annual Programming Language award is given to the programming language with the highest growth in share over the year.
Last month, TIOBE predicted that Python, Java, C, and C# were all potential candidates. In a poll initiated by “Programmers’ Matters”, C language received the lowest vote percentage.
However, unexpectedly, the ancient C language has once again become the TIOBE Annual Programming Language. 
In 2019, C’s share increased by 2.44%, C# rose by 2.07%, and Python increased by 1.41%. (Relevant information can be found in the data chart below.)
C is a general-purpose programming language widely used for the development of system software and application software. It was designed and developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at Bell Labs between 1969 and 1973, based on the B language, to port and develop the UNIX operating system.
This is the third time C language has won the Annual Programming Language award, with previous wins in 2008 and 2017.
Why did C language see the largest growth in share?
TIOBE attributes this to the Internet of Things (IoT) and numerous small smart devices. Performance is crucial for small devices, and C language performs excellently on small devices. Additionally, every processor has a C compiler, and C language is easy to learn.
Do you agree with the above viewpoint?

[Note]:
The TIOBE programming language community ranking is an indicator of the popularity trends of programming languages, updated monthly.
The ranking is based on the number of experienced engineers, courses, and third-party vendors worldwide. It calculates the popularity share (Rating) of each programming language based on well-known search engines (such as Google, MSN, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Baidu).
Please note: This ranking only reflects the popularity of a programming language and does not indicate its quality or the quantity of code written in that language.
This ranking can be used to examine whether the programming language you are using is up-to-date and can also serve as a basis for choosing when developing new systems.
