The latest update to the TIOBE Index reveals notable shifts in the world of software development.

C++ has claimed second place with 11.60 percent, followed by Java with 10.51 percent.

C++ could be a candidate, but isn’t secure enough in memory management tasks.

Jansen describes Mojo as a blend of Python and Swift, offering much faster performance.
