Zig, a basic purpose programming language that connects with C/C++ programs and assures to be a modern-day option to C, has made an appearance in the Tiobe index of shows language popularity.Zig got in the top 50
in the April edition of the Tiobe Programming Community Index, ranking 46th, albeit with a rating of simply 0.19%. By contrast, the Google-promoted Carbon language, placed as a speculative successor to C++, ranked simply 168th.
Tiobe explained Zig as having functions of C and C++ such as specific memory management boosted with choice types, while abandoning other features such as preprocessing. While entering the leading 50 is no assurance of success, it is a notable first step, Tiobe said.The need for
high-performance languages efficient in processing large quantities of information has led to languages such as C, C++, and Rust rising in the index, according to Tiobe. The Tiobe index ranks language appeal based on searches in search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and YouTube for competent engineers, programming courses, and third-party suppliers associated with each language.The Tiobe index’s leading 10 languages for April 2023: Python, with a rating of 14.51
