Things get interesting with this month&#8217;s TIOBE programming language rankings where R settles in at position 8 after making a huge jump from its previous position 17.<\/p>\n<p>PHP drops two spots to settle in at 9th while MATLAB takes the last top ten spot.<\/p>\n<p>Swift leads the bottom half of the top 20 at position 11 followed by Object-C and Assembly Language respectively.
