This is especially tough for RedMonk's rankings because they typically evaluate languages on "lifetime summary" metrics like total number of tags on Stack Overflow, or total number of projects on GitHub. e.g.: https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2023/05/16/language-rankings-1-23/ https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2023/05/16/language-rankings-1-2... If Stack Overflow becomes more and more a reflection of "historical behavior" rather than "modern behavior", this sort of metric will become a less useful way to judge modern developer usage.
