I graphed the number of years since each of the tiobe programming language top 25 current versions were created and found only ANSI Common Lisp (and Visual Basic 1998) aren't babies. I look at @nytpu 's article about lisp as a fulcrum for understanding what a current programming language having a long history is like. There are no examples outside of LISP.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

The TIOBE programming language impact index's top 25 hot languages of 2025. The only languages that have existed for more than 5 years are lisp (over 30) and the discontinued Visual Basic 1998 (over 25). Both are at the tail end (right side) of the top 25 hot languages. It is a bar chart with grid lines.

I wonder what it will take to get #rakulang in the top 50 of the Tiobe index. Any thoughts?

For those that say, "a killer app" -- since I know that response is coming -- what is Raku's most likely class of killer app?

Also, congrats to the #ziglang crowd for making it into the 30's. You've earned it! I'm still of the opinion Raku can learn from Zig at the community level.
