you're joking, right? https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-elixir-q-java-q-go.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-elixir-q-java-q-go.html

YOU'RE joking, right? Because you're looking at the data entirely wrong. The fact that a relatively new language has a CURRENT fraction of the interest of a more established one is an idiotic comparison to make, all that matters are the rates of change, and I challenge you to find another language with the slope of the "Jobseeker Interest" line on this chart: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-elixir.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-elixir.html For comparison, Go, stagnant: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Go.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Go.html Java, slight increase: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Java.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Java.html Scala is the closest competitor I've found (and it's still not close): https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Scala.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Scala.html F#, stagnant: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-F%23.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-F%23.html Haskell, stagnant: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Haskell.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Haskell.html Clojure, stagnant: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Clojure.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Clojure.html Erlang, stagnant: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Erlang.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Erlang.html Rust, almost stagnant, extremely gentle slope: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Rust.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Rust.html Elm is also rising fairly fast, but not as much as Elixir (almost, though): https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Elm.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Elm.html So, my point, WITH data: One of these things is not like the other Here's the kicker: https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Clojure-q-Haskell-q-Elixir-q-Rust.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-Clojure-q-Haskell-q-Elixi... Elixir is about to pass Clojure AND Haskell AND Rust in developer interest, and shows no signs of abating

I'm not so sure, I think go still has a ways to 'go': https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-elixir-q-java-q-go-q-who.html https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends/q-elixir-q-java-q-go-q-who.... ...or maybe we're reading a bit more into the data than what is really there? And your go jobs to 'go' along with the data: https://www.indeed.com/q-go-jobs.html https://www.indeed.com/q-go-jobs.html

I'm not sure this graph works very well, I've tried with Javascript and it's below Java, Go and Ruby.
