TIOBE announced the March 2020 programming language list.
TOP 20 list is as follows:
C language programming language is indeed the year to 3.03% annual growth rate continued strong lead. A higher growth rate as well as Java (2.90%), C # (2.95%) and Python (1.85%).
Overall, the top 10 languages basically stable as usual. Go out this month the language black horse, all the way into the top ten. Last year, Go ranked No. 18, in the first two months of the list, Go up to the first 14, then continued to climb, finally entered the top ten in March.
This month the most noteworthy language relatively surprising: Delphi is about to fall out of the top 20 TIOBE index. This is probably a sign of the ultimate decline of Delphi. Since June 2001 TIOBE index exists, Delphi has been among the top 20 in the early 2000s, it is one of the most popular language and IDE. Delphi 2002 Release 7 is probably its peak, then began to fall into trouble Delphi, including Linux graft failure, error, etc. version. At the same time, some of the IDE with similar functionality swept the market, Delphi began to decline.
TIOBE believe that another major cause of the decline of Delphi is its issuance frequency is too low. Every year, a major version of the original, but after 2018, Delphi was not what the new movement.
Compared with the previous two months, on a number of R language relatively pleasant surprise, rising from 18-11. Some two months on the forecast have failed, for example, thought steady in the top ten of the Swift out from 9-13; guess Ruby is about to enter the top ten dropped back to 14th. Others had good momentum of development languages have different degrees of decline qualifying phenomenon, Objective-C directly to the back 19.
In addition, some of the more popular or is considered to have more potential of language, it seems not much progress, more stable ranking on the list. For example, Rust (ranked 30), such as Kotlin (ranked 31).

Continue to look after the 20 qualifying:
Programming language ranked first 21-50 names
51-100 follows the first, due to the small numerical difference between them, are listed only text (in alphabetical order):

TIOBE 编程社区指数（The TIOBE Programming Community index）是编程语言流行度的指标，该榜单每月更新一次，指数基于全球技术工程师、课程和第三方供应商的数量。包括流行的搜索引擎，如谷歌、必应、雅虎、维基百科、亚马逊、YouTube 和百度都用于指数计算。具体的计算方式见这里：https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition/。
值得注意的是，TIOBE 指数并不代表语言的好坏，开发者可以使用该榜单检查自身的编程技能是否需要更新，或者在开始构建新软件时对某一语言做出选择。
