The top ten languages on HN are C, C++, Assembly, Python, Go, Java, Rust, Swift, D and Lisp.
- imaginenore 10y agoNo JavaScript? Doesn't sound right.
- Retra 10y agoNobody talks about JavaScript. It's all "Node React Angular Ember Meteor" and whatnot.
- tracker1 10y agoAnd that's probably why JS isn't higher... even for internal applications a LOT of UIs are web based these days, which means JS is involved to some extent... and a lot of those frameworks and tool sets are all JS. These days, I'd go so far as to say, if you're doing web anything, you should have some node too, as a significant amount of web tooling is node/js based.
- smitherfield 10y agoStill absolutely no way people talk about D here more than JavaScript. And I imagine the reason assembly scores so high is treating "x86" and "ARM" as keywords, so that raises the question of why "Node React Angular Ember Meteor" etc aren't treated as keywords for JS.
