I totally expected JavaScript to get the 2nd spot but looks like TypeScript pulled the votes away. I personally consider JavaScript and TypeScript to be close enough for their numbers to be added up.

I agree, I think it makes most sense to add them up to be the true #2.

Then you should probably add kotlin and java together as well. They share the same purpose, use the same VM, usually live in the same project, have native compatibility, are used with the same frameworks, etc.

You could make a separate graph with "platform" or "language family" so you do js/ts, jvm, .net/clr, C/C++ etc.

That one is perhaps more interesting from an industry/jobs trend perspective whereas the TS vs JS trend is also interesting on its own.

I agree. These should be combined. Also, what is Arduino doing on this list?

Agreed. There’s a few consolidations I’d prefer, including BEAM-based languages as one.

Then also app up Java&Kotlin and C&C++.

Ooh, then JS&TS are not number two!
