See my other comment in this thread. It's 3/4 devs according to SO.

Call me a neckbeard, but 3/4 of devs are not representative of 3/4 of devs in the industry in my opinion. And especially not of 3/4 of devs on HN.

According to: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#most-popular...

It seems that the order of most used technologies on SO is JS, SQL, HTML, CSS, and only then Python. We skip back to TypeScript and then Bash before finally getting to Java, C#, and C++.

I daresay that self-selected people who read, and sign up for, and fill out a survey at Stack Overflow does not represent the industry as a whole.
