Didn't most languages become popular long before they got a good IDE? Ruby, Rust, Go, Python, Node, etc. There are some exceptions like Kotlin but in general IDE support does not seem very relevant for popularity.

Node isn’t a language, and these are the most recent wave of popular programming languages.

C++ went hand in hand with a great IDE (Visual Studio). Java was always used with Eclipse (not good, but ubiquitous).

Before Visual Studio there was many others, e.g. Borland, Symantec, Visual Age, Watcom,

Before Eclipse Java had Visual Cafe, Visual Age for Java (which got rebooted as Eclipse), Visual J++ and J#.

I think these days things have changed and a language server and a VSCode plugin are probably minimum table stakes.
