LabVIEW climbs to 26th on TIOBE!

[Andrey_Dmitriev]

On the TIOBE Index for July 2026, LabVIEW is in 26th place,

and I guess this is the highest position I’ve seen so far — now slightly above Julia and Kotlin.

Month ago it was place 32 with 0,53%.

Keep going, let’s get into the top 20!

Good to see some real data supporting the increased efforts in LabVIEW development!

Many years ago Chris Anderson actually gave a NI Week keynote about the long tail, and we are still in it. 😄 Nothing wrong with that.

Time to pass SAS. 😄

Funny thing is that I extensively used SAS for nonlinear fitting and graphic output on a pen plotter on our VAX 11/780 in the late eighties. I still kept the SAS/Statistics manual which is actually a good programming language agnostic reference book.

Sad to see FORTRAN dropping steeply. Even Matlab seems to be losing ground.

That's quite an achievement and I can indeed not remember that it ever appeared higher in this list.

Seems that some people are doing good work. 👍

I remember watching it slowly fall down the list years ago, then I stopped looking.

Part of it may be because some languages that were above LV were being falsely counted.

If so, that says good things for LabVIEW because it's still active and relevant in the world today!

Makes me want to go look for that NI-Week 30/20 years t-shirt from 2006 ...
