The same survey claims that Go is more popular than C. I would be interested to know how well the Jetbrains user base represents the overall developer community.

None of the two surveys claim that. Feel free to point out where it does.

From the jetbrains link you posted. 18% used Go last year, 17% used C.

Ok so your definition of popular is usage in the last 12 months in this case. And by 1%.

C is a niche low level language. Doesn't surprise me that a higher level language is used more often.
