Tiobe CEO Paul Jansen believes Ada, a programming language from the late 1970s, has the potential to surpass languages like Visual Basic, Perl, and Fortran in popularity. Despite a lack of significant changes among top languages such as Python, C#, and Java, older languages are showing more movement. Even with rising newer languages, none have surpassed those established ones. Jansen notes that due to the increasing demands for security, Ada's strength in safety-critical systems positions it favorably for longevity in the programming landscape.
"Where are Rust, Kotlin, Dart, and Julia? Apparently, established languages are hot."
"With the ever-stronger demands on security, Ada is, as a system programming language in the safety-critical domain, likely the best survivor."
