Google doesn't reveal their search methodology and everybody is using it and taking it seriously...
- saberience 6y agoGoogle isn't saying their search means something is "better" or more popular though. If I search google for "restaurants near me" it shows me restaurants near my current location, or a link to Yelp etc which then relies on reviews by humans. If someone is telling me: "This index of 'top' programming languages is meaningful" I want to understand how said index is generated, because obviously there is a massive human element. You could make indexes like this which show Haskell is the top programming language if you used certain data points and similarly you could make Rust the top language if you used a different set of data points. It's totally open to authorial biases.
