Sure, devops tools are usually more fundamental, whereas high level languages are used for things closer to the business. Twitter's backend for example is mainly powered by Scala, but you probably don't know about it, because it is not as visible to you.

Enumeration isn’t a compelling way to indicate relative frequency (in this case, frequency of usage of Go and Scala, respectively). An enumeration of size=1 is even less convincing.

That was not my intention. The example was supposed to show that not all software has the same visibility to software-developers.
