Abstract

Nowadays, both the qualities and quantities of programming languages are growing quickly. This study analyzes the distribution and trends of popular programming languages in the 21st century. Specifically, the study collected data on the rate of users of programming languages from Tiobe, GitHub, etc., and analyzed the data with Python code. This study highlighted some common coding languages and their trends. It provides potential relationships of user portion change between different common languages which may help people to find the proper languages to use.
