IEEE Spectrum 2017 Top Programming Languages

I filtered by "Mobile" for both the "IEEE Spectrum" (which I guess means overall) and the "Trending" and Kotlin was nowhere to be found.

So I have to question the list in it's entirety. I know I"m a Kotlin fanboy and that it's not a "gigantic" language, but still, you'd think it would at least show up as trending for mobile in a 2017 list.

"So what are the Top Ten Languages for the typical Spectrum reader?"

This is survey on top programming languages among spectrum readers. So maybe spectrum readers are not into Kotlin.

Actually I was looking at the larger 40-some list, not the top 10, should have mentioned that in my comment.

Kotlin is pretty much a startup thing still.

Maybe now with Google's seal of approval more customers will be willing to sign off contracts delivered in Kotlin.

The irrational Java hate has led to this fantasy that Kotlin is going to take over the world because Google mentioned it.
