That Scala is in their top 20 seems quite suspicious.
On the X-Y plot in the article, Rust's position at the far right is even more suspicious. (Are they counting all forks of the same repository as separate projects?) Swift appearing in the list north of Objective-C, likewise. Ruby is inexplicably high up -- above C?!? -- considering the absolute paucity of job listings for Ruby coders. And is there really anything at all coded in Powershell?
But at least it's not TIOBE, which would be to say entirely spurious, and insulting even to submit here.
- karmakaze 4y ago> We exclude forked repos. I can completely imagine there being more Swift questions than Objective C ones since it's now far more popular and Objective C seems like the languace has fewer constructs. I can never remember all the function/lambda declaration forms or weird things that happen with ad-hoc named tuples. Simlarly for C, I can't ever say I looked up anything in SO for it, Ruby I'm still googling for the difference between .x and .x! for arbitrary x.
- pencilguin 4y agoExactly. Those are not measures of use.
