I was thinking the same thing. Their google search language comparison is probably incorrect. For example no one includes the keyword "javascript" when searching for nodejs or react. Instead they should have used Stackoverflow's developer survey results.
From an article that analyzes Stackoverflow's developer survey results[1]:
1. JavaScript
2. HTML
3. CSS
4. SQL
5. Java
6. Bash/Shell
7. Python
8. C#
9. PHP
10. C++

- realusername 8y agoYes that list sounds much more realistic to me.
- cm2187 8y agoBut nodejs and react aren’t programming languages. No one is including “c#” when searching for spreadsheetgear, asp.net or wpf even though they are .net libraries and frameworks.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoPrecisely the point. If you don't count searches for popular libraries and frameworks into their respective language buckets, the results are mostly bullshit, and at best probably reflect the undergrad curriculum.
- cimmanom 8y agoYeah, JavaScript also has too many names for the language itself. I mean, I search for “Django” or “Python 3” instead of “Python” half the time. But with JS, if I’m looking for info about the language itself it’s usually with the keyword “ES6” instead of “JavaScript”.
- goatlover 8y agoHowever, when I'm searching for Python, it's Pandas, Matplotlib or Numpy most of the time.
