Will the new programming language Mojo enter the TIOBE Top 20 popularity index by 2026?

Mojo is a new programming language meant to eventually be a superset of Python (ie all Python code is also valid Mojo code) but with features allowing it to be much faster. It's being created by Chris Lattner, who previously created LLVM, Clang, and the Swift programming language, among other things.

The TIOBE index is an index I found that is supposed to track programming language popularity. I don't know a whole lot more about how they decide, but eyeballing it, it seems basically reasonable.

The question is whether Mojo will make it onto the top 20 list by the end of 2026. That would put it around the present popularity of Fortran, Rust, Ruby, and Swift.

To qualify it should appear to be basically stable in remaining on the Top 20 list. I will err on the side of assuming that if it has been on the list then this should resolve YES, unless it was clearly a flash in the pan that was on only briefly and then sank fast.

bought Ṁ6 of YES

Isn't it paid?

Definitely comfortable thing, but if it is not open source, then it is hindered.

bought Ṁ25 of NO

Look at the list. This is not happening.

Doesn't the ML focus mean it's less likely to take off? Most conusmers of ML models aren't going to be writing kernels, they're going to be calling APIs or something.
