2022年2月编程语言排行榜：TIOBE指数前3名受益于技术变革

自5月1日起，Alexa网络流量排名引擎将停止其服务。一直以来，Alexa被用于选择TIOBE指数的搜索引擎，所以从现在起一些事情必须改变。Similarweb已被选为Alexa的替代方案，并且在本月第一次被用来选择搜索引擎。幸运的是，这次转换并没有让排行榜并发生大的变化。唯一显著的区别是，排名前3位的语言Python、C和Java的指数均上升了1%以上。TIOBE排行榜与Similarweb的集成仍在微调，并且会与后端向HtmlUnit的转变相结合。一些网站尚未加入，但很快就会陆续推出。既然HtmlUnit被应用于网络爬取，那么将更多的站点添加到排行榜中将成为可能，例如Stackoverflow和Github。这有望在未来几个月内发生。

The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. It is important to note that the TIOBE index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been written.

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system. The definition of the TIOBE index can be found here.
