Top-Ranked Programming Language Python
| Translated by Julian Hammer
Why Python Will Continue to Dominate in 2025
Python will remain the world’s most popular programming language in 2025. According to the latest Popularity of Programming Language Index (PYPL Index, January 2025), which measures the popularity of programming languages based on the frequency of tutorial searches, Python tops the list with an impressive 29.8% market share. It is not only the fastest growing programming language, but also the most popular worldwide. Many developers who are not yet using Python are planning to do so in the future — clear evidence of the success of this versatile language. The TIOBE index also confirms that Python is the most widely used programming language in the world.
