				Wtf is javascript in 2024 !? Are there some genuises building whole websites in plain old js like cowboys ? Does it mean react, angular vue and node combined ? If so, why is typescript left out !

				How can you have data for 2024 when it hasn’t even started?
Can you give me lottery numbers for 2024 as well? - 
				
				My theory for Python's popularity is that it might be used in many new college classes, including beyond full time programming. Like statistics, analytics, data science.
Took a look at the latest Stack Overflow survey and under the most popular libs/frameworks there's a surprisingly high amount of votes for various data processing libs (rather than application programming) - so there has to be a lot of people doing data processing who voted in that survey.
Meanwhile you rarely see stuff like C# being used as a scripting language by people who aren't dotnet devs. - 
				
				ccpdev22y@jiraTicket I suppose you never experienced the zen of python
jokes aside, I believe most of python is used for data science and scripting (a lot of devops), but also web development (djanjo and fast api are huge)
I worked with many different programming languages in my life, every time I change jobs usually I get to work with a new one - and python is by far the one I like the most - 
				
				@coldfire it's probably because of all these millions of frameworks, that ultimately still use js for some reason.
 - 
				
				@NoToJavaScript this is more accurate.
You can see, how TS is slowly replacing JS,
how The C Family somewhat sticks together (because C moved up the rank),
Go and Rust ist basically the same,
Lua made a huuuge jump,
Zig is somewhere at the end of the list,
and carbon is not even part of it. - 
				
				
Hazarth91572ypython is obviously so high because of machine learning. All of machine learning and data science runs on Python except for the few C++ gems.
But python is also pretty cool and deserves to be above JavaScript and anything JS Related, so I take it - 
				
				@ccpdev oh I realise now my comment came across as if I'm negative towards python. I am not. I get the love. And figure it would be highly ranked even if the list only included full time application programmers.
Just felt python is trending more than normally now and I recalled seeing that SO survey with tons of votes for data processing frameworks
