That’s not the point. Many JS devs google “Node xxxxx” but still code with JS. Not many people search for “Python xxxxx” and code in C.

Offtopic: I disagree with grandparent, for different reasons.

Many people google "boost graph library" but are c++ developers or google "pandas how to drop columns", "numpy how to append to array" but are python developers.

I still don’t see how this leads to

> x86 ASM is the most popular language or every Python application is a c application

He states people using typescript count as people using javascript. If that is true people writing python or c++ are writing ASM

Not really. TypeScript is just a JavaScript superset, and developer code JS with all its good and bad with some annotation types. TypeScript is not like Dart or reasonML for which your analogy would have been correct if someone said Dart count as JavaScript.

I focused more on frameworks, that is React, Vue and Angular. I understand now what you meant, thanks.
