Random note: every few years I update a list [0] of popular programming subreddits (by subscriber count) on the /r/programming wiki. Over the last two years, C increased in popularity overtaking Ruby. And C++ increased in popularity overtaking PHP.
Rust, TypeScript, and Dart made big gains as might be expected. Swift didn't really move anywhere.
The biggest surprise for me were how much the interest in C and C++ continues to grow relative to other high-level languages (that probably also have greater number of professional users).
