  "account": "The September 2026 TIOBE Index shows Python dropping below 18% popularity, while Julia nears the top 20. The top 10 ranking remains unchanged, with Python at 17.76%, C++ at 8.67%, and Java at 7.54%. Julia climbs to No. 21 with 0.74%, just behind COBOL at No. 20. MATLAB falls to No. 27, continuing its decline from last month. C# maintains fifth place at 4.22%, while JavaScript and Visual Basic both gain rating share this month. Julia’s ascent could indicate its strength in technical areas like numerical and scientific computing, but widespread use as a general-purpose language remains limited.",
