    Tech Republic[^]:

    Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, SQL and Go are on the rise, according to the JetBrains State of Developer Ecosystem report. But one programming language still leads the pack.

    And by 'popular', they definitely don't mean 'loved'

      Quote:

      Programmers still prefer JavaScript—69% of them say they've used it in the past year...

      I doubt that prefer accurately reflects the wording of the survey's question.

          Pretty much with you on C++. But in the 1980s, it was a strategic advantage for a major competitor to be developing in C while we were using a proprietary language that was far superior.

            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

                well it's up again. Maybe someone finished fixing the server after the cleaning crew unplugged it to run their vacuum cleaner. :rolleyes: If being a programming language popularity report was needs deleted bad fake news, Kent would have multiple dead links every week, so I doubt that's it. And unlike various ones trying to rank dozens of languages by popularitycount how many angels can dance on the head of a pin; it's conclusion about JS being the most widely used language seems plausible. Most new software is webbased, and while there're many backend stacks almost all of them still us JS on the front end.

                  Funny you mention the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin. I nearly wrote that in reaction to the post[^] above this one!
