There are so many people in the world, that I think it is possible. Yet, I don't even trust those popularity results. Think about two things that have equal popularity, but one is harder to use (or simply more prone to errors) than the other. You will naturally find more questions, answers and posts over the one that's harder to use, simply because the easier to use doesn't raise so many questions. For example, compare how many questions are there about access violations and memory corruption in C++, C# and JavaScript. And, if we go further, the C# ones will probably be related to PInvoke/unsafe code or related to bugs in libraries that do use PInvoke or unsafe code. JavaScript should never cause access violations so, if it is happening, it will be related to bugged browser implementations. Yet, it seems that those results may be affecting the "popularity index" of the languages.

Sorry but I cannot celebrate a language with These bad parts[^] becoming more successful. Its just because we don't have a choice in the browser because W3C are so fricking incapable. Celebrating this just shows a staggering ignorance of language history.

You may not be able to celebrate it but the fact is that it's the "assembly language" of the web. We're stuck with it as far as web dev is concerned.
