Plus TIOBE had Perl enter the top 10 suddenly this year but I do not see any new developers. And Ada too! Where are all those Ada programmers?

Keeping 7 Ada vendors in business, one of the few areas where developers actually pay for tooling.

It's more like people in golf suits agree on corruption schemes rather than actual devs making decisions.

Ada seems pretty popular on Arch

This data is kinda worthless for popularity contests, since they may get picked up by aur packages, but this gives a solid insight into wich languages are foundational

I wish the same was available for other distros

You can do the same with docker images

    curl -s https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/python/ | jq -r ".pull_count"
    8244552364

    curl -s https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/golang/ | jq -r ".pull_count"
    2396145586

    curl -s https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/perl/ | jq -r ".pull_count"
    248786850

    curl -s https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/rust/ | jq -r ".pull_count"

"Top Languages" doesn't mean "better" nor does it mean "best"

That’s a C++ URL parser library, has nothing to do with the programming language.

You want gcc-ada for the programming language.

Perl is almost as active as Javascript. And more useful than Python.

I write Perl to do all sorts of thing every week. Its strange its not in the top 5 list.
