The way certain languages are ranked in the article is really weird. For example, JavaScript is ranked above Java although it's dynamically typed, which the author lists as bad at the beginning. What seems to rank it somewhat high is "the ecosystem", which is kind of hard to define (did they just look at the number of NPM packages?), and for that matter, Java has a really big number of libraries as well.
Then somewhere in the middle the article just takes a major plot twist and takes on functional languages as being the solution to everything. While I personally like F#, I find it really confusing that it still gets the "like" for its "ecosystem", although the article then proceeds to explain it's "rather small".
