IEEE is a mixed weight of Jobs+Trending.

What you linked to is SO's "most loved" where the question asked is: "Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)"

As of now, Rust is beloved, but there are few jobs (outside of crypto grifting), especially relative to the hype and relative to other languages, and most projects are 1-person projects or a handful at most.

EDIT: here's a better graph to compare: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technolog...

You would expect working electrical engineers to more heavily favor languages like MATLAB or R, which shows in the IEEE rankings. But that doesn’t explain Julia being more popular in Stackoverflow, though — unless some working engineers still consider it too experimental for production use?

As far as IEEE's methodology - it's not even described which makes the whole article kind of pointless.

It's also described in the original post, but the above goes into the sources used.

You can see the likely weights they used for the three rankings they show this year.

As to what it means 100 vs 70.22 means, it means that Python got a higher score under that ranking. It showed up in more places.

Worked with both - nothing scary there.

The Fantastic Seven - C#, Python, TypeScript, C++, Go, SQL, F# - covers 99.99% of your programming language needs. :)

That said, I started programming in the 80s in BASIC and crack a loving smirk when I see a GOTO.
