I found a recentish (2021) survey at [1] which suggests that in 2021 ML was some way behind web development, sysadmin stuff, and data analysis among Python users (and didn't seem to be on the way up the list).

- claytonjy 4y agoGreat source; looks like I've quite underestimated the python-web-dev crowd's size. I'm curious what the longer-term trends look like; not much change between consecutive years. Data analysis is basically a pre-requisite for ML, so the combined "data stuff" usage is quite a lot bigger than web dev usage!
- aragilar 4y agoThe obvious next question being, what's the difference between ML and data analysis from the perspective of the survey participants (is ML a strict subset)? Given the values don't add up to 100%, there's likely lots of overlap and so you could easily have web developers choosing Python for the ML ecosystem.
