.NET VB ahead of JS, Ruby, Swift, Go, R? Interesting...

Swift and Objective C share the iOS platform. I would think Objective C will fall off in the next couple of years and Swift will make a big jump.

There's not really a compelling reason for VB.NET to even exist at this point. It'd be lovely to have whatever effort is expended on that shifted to F#.

The great hidden mass of folks scripting Excel spreadsheets strikes me as unlikely to migrate to anything else, anytime soon.

To be fair, those users are also using VBA, which is still in the VB6 line, not the .NET VB. Visual Basic on .NET is almost identical with C#, just with different syntax, and is a second-class citizen with regards to documentation and resources.

I'm sure the VB.NET programmers would disagree.
