The SO survey (while super interesting!) conflates "most used" with "most asked about on Stack Overflow"; I'm skeptical of anyone who claims to know which programming language is the most popular. The TIOBE index, which has its own problems, has Javascript coming in 8th, with the top 4 being Java, C, C++ and C#; my experiences and my confirmation bias suggest that's more accurate.
