If you are new to this world, imagine the TIOBE Index as a “thermometer” that measures which languages are being searched for and used the most.

When a language goes up, it usually means more job demand, more projects, and a bigger community.
The growth of SQL and R reflects something simple: data rules, and companies need tools to analyze and manage it.
