That's the ranking when they queried for deep learning specifically.

For machine learning it was: Python, Java, R, C++, C. I have to wonder if that difference in ordering is actually real.

TensorFlow is written in C++ so I'd expect it to impact the deep learning result.

Every serious lib was written in C/C++ under the hood long before TensorFlow came along.

True, at least to some extent. But I think TensorFlow treated C++ as a first class citizen and not as a tool to improve performance.

You wouldn't use sklearn as a C++ developer, for example. But you could totally use TensorFlow.
