This is a pretty horrible article. I don't mean to attack any language in particular, but ladder logic is very low on this list, when its easily one of the most widely deployed languages in programming due to its use on industrial PLC's (which run, no joke everything). When you look into their sources. It basically boils down to, "How much are people talking about the language". >The IEEE Spectrum Top Programming Languages app synthesizes 12 metrics from 10 sources to arrive at an overall ranking of language popularity. The sources cover contexts that include social chatter, open-source code production, and job postings [1] Which only measure how much people talk about a language, not how much they use it.
