I think JavaScript is used extensively in web development but almost not at all anywhere else. TIOBE places it at 7th place: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index h

  > I think JavaScript is used extensively in web development but almost not at all anywhere else. This matches my experience I think JavaScript is popular on the internet but within businesses it is much less common. Within my world (Industrial manufacturing) the most frequently used languages at least in my orginization... Control Systems (HMI's, PLCs, Operator Guidance etc): C, C++, A lot of domain specific stuff for PLC's Process Modelling / Engineering Simulation: Fortran, C, C++, some python, some matlab. Scrpting: Perl, VBS, .BAT Analytics / Reporting: SAS, COGNOS, ACCESS (older mostly replaced) Web Apps: Java, ASP (older), Oracle Forms (older) Legacy/Mainframe: PL/1 (rarely touched mostly just runs) In House (business) Apps: Java, C++ (older), VBA (i.e. excel spreadsheets) Intranet: Sharepoint
