  There's also the TIOBE index: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ruby/ https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ruby/ It conveys similar trend to Google Search chart

    Because it uses same metrics. If you want to see real usage statistics you need to consult GitHub, JetBrains, RedMonk ratings.

      Okay: https://octoverse.github.com/2022/top-programming-languages https://octoverse.github.com/2022/top-programming-languages Ruby took a nosedive from 5th "top used" programming language in 2016 to 10th in 2022

        Those are relative positions. We can't talk about a "nosedive" from that. It may be the case, but also maybe Ruby was just the slowest growing out of a number of languages growing in popularity. We don't have enough data from there.

          > since ruby is a language that is less and less used by many programmers But this statement from thread starter is about Ruby's relative position. If Ruby's rank in top-used language ranking drops, then we can say that the language is less used by programmers in the survey pool.

            > thread starter is about Ruby's relative position. I guess we disagree on that part.
