Java (going down fast), C (going up slowly), C++ (going down slowly), Python (going up fast), and C# (going down slowly). Data from the TIOBE Index.

Unfortunately Python. I doubt it will last long though. Python has numerous problems that will slowly kill it: 1. Speed. This may not be a big problem now because computers are fast enough, but Python’s mainly used in machine learning and data science, but those are both areas that require massive data processing and are growing faster than computer speed. Once this becomes an actual problem, faster computers won’t be a reasonable solution because they are too expensive, so the solution is a faster language. It won’t be hard to find a faster language than Python, so this switch will be rather sudden and Python programmers will need to start practicing whatever language they end up needing before their jobs are taken by professionals in those languages. 2. Dynamically typed. Python is a dynamically typed language, meaning that it has no data types. This is incredible for learning, but it is a nightmare for large projects. If you are working in a group or on a project big enough to force you to use comments, you will find that explicit is better than implicit, even with comments all over the page to help you out. It is much easier to look at a specific point in the code to find the return type than to look around for a comment to explain it. If this weren’t a problem, “Pythonicness” wouldn’t exist, or at least be as big as it is. If you are looking for a popular language with a good outlook, try Kotlin. It is highly likely to replace Java as the most commonly used language for Android development.
