Top Programming Languages: Python extends its lead, Assembly enters the Top Ten

Good list but I think GitHub's list matches more closely to what I see people using: https://octoverse.github.com/

In particular, GitHub's list has JavaScript as #1 and I've seen a lot of frontend and middle-tier work moving to JavaScript via React, Node, Angular, Vue, etc.

Also, how is Assembly in the top 10 on the IEEE list??? I get that every machine runs it but I don't see a lot of people programming in assembly these days...

IEEE focuses a lot more on embedded and industry stuff IIRC so that would basically kill Javascript outright. Python is fairly popular there as is Assembly (I maintained a Assembly based production line controller from the 80s in a previous job)

I don’t think GitHubs list is good either. It only contains open source software (right?) and does not account for any in-house software by big enterprise companies (and I think that those are still the biggest).

WASM, I'm guessing.

Which would make this survey a really terrible survey.
