Does the usage of a site like SO (where you ask for help) necessarily correlate with growth of a language? Or more specifically, does the difference between views of two different languages on SO correlate with real world difference of growth between those two languages?
As a personal example, I've searched for answers related to golang far less than I have for python because I tend to find my answers by simply reading golang docs but in case of python, docs do not help me as much so I turn to google and consequently to SO.
