Much of which is also in Python.

JS is also very popular. Not for the same things as Python but in some aspects it's becoming modern PHP (which is still popular, if maybe aging somewhat kinda like Perl). But Python is definitely very popular for new back room stuff (source: long digital sweatshop career)

I mean, sure, but I’m just saying point me to a source that is ranking Python as #1 or #2 most popular. If it’s TIOBE or something similar it’s meaningless.

I say this as someone that has made their career mostly on the “top 5” TIOBE languages - but that ranking is a bunch of crap for the overall commercial software world.

C? Give me a fucking break. Never in 20 years have I known there to be more C than Java jobs.

And now everyone and their dog including doctors and other non tech-savvy professionals are doing Intro to Python courses (and then never touching it again) so they too can feel like they know something about ML or stats. Lot of noise.

According to 2022 Stack Overflow developer survey, if we exclude HTML, SQL and Bash, top five languages (as in being used by most developers) are: Javascript, Python, Typescript, Java and C#.

Checking here, if we go by pushes on GitHub, JS, Python, Ruby, Java, PHP are the top for 2021.

This is of course biased to only stuff on GitHu band public (assuming, but doubt they're publishing private data on BigQuery).

No idea how much of that is pet projects vs production of course.
