Go Finally Returns to Top 10 of Programming Language Popularity List

'Google's Go language has re-entered the top 10 of the Tiobe index of programming language popularity, after a nearly six-year absence,' reports InfoWorld:

Go ranks 10th in the March edition of the index, after placing 11th the previous month. The language last appeared in the top 10 in July 2017.
The re-emergence of Go in the March 2023 index is being attributed to its popularity with software engineers and its strength in combining the right features, namely built-in concurrency, garbage collection, static typing, and good performance. Google's backing also helps, improving long-term trust in the language, Tiobe said.

The languages Go beat out include 'assembly language' at #11, followed by MATLAB, Delphi/Object Pascal, Scratch, and Classic Visual Basic.
Here's the complete top-ten most popular programming languages, according to TIOBE:

Python
