Python is slightly above it on the StackOverflow 2024 developer survey.

The "admired and desired" chart has nothing to do with actual use.

According to this chart[0] higher on the same survey report, JavaScript is the #1 most used, and Python is #3.

But, I don't see this as a contest... being "the most popular" programming language doesn't automatically make it the best choice for a given task.
