In mobile, the top are: C, Java, C++, C#. C and C# aren't used for mobile...

In enterprise, JavaScript isn't even top 10 ??? and R is #6?

In embedded, the top are C, C++, and Arduino which isn't even a "language" ???

In web, top are Python, Java, C# then JavaScript -- nevermind that virtually 100.0% of all web apps include some amount of JavaScript...

I'm a big fan of Python... but not this way...

C# (Xamarin) is probably #4 in mobile after Java, Swift and Obj-C. But yes, putting C in #1 is pretty absurd, although it's based on a survey of IEEE Spectrum readers, who maybe are disproportionately working on drivers, 3D games or the mobile operating systems themselves.
