Yeah! "insert niche language that I use" isn't even number 1? That ranking system is just plain wrong!

Me: Everyone I know uses _language_, this is trash!

Also me: First programming job.

I'd love to see a study done on developers - how their first job has influenced their zealotry for programming languages / technologies

My first job involved RPG (Report Program Generator), one of the most loathsome and repulsive languages. Compared to RPG, COBOL is Python.

I'm surprised to see RPG is still a thing, not surprised its ranking is so low.
