  Haven't seen those numbers yet thank you. I was basing the above more on tiobe index, google trends and gauging the frontier of web development, which includes tooling, modern libraries. Much of the effort in the latter part, innovation, products, tooling and marketing at the web frontier seems to more strongly focus on JS/TS/Node/V8/serverless/WASM. When I started with web dev, PHP was the de-facto standard language for small web-shops (Ruby was on the rise, Node on the horizon). I don't think that is true for the next generation of web developers.
