[@jadespider7526]

If you've ever wondered why computers are getting faster and faster every generation, but your programs get bigger and slower...there you go.

[@jeabo0adhd]

A big pile of endless abstractions and workarounds before your instructions reach the CPU and RAM.

[@d_chae]

Where is this data sourced from? I'm curious what "most used" means here? Used by the most developers? Used by the most projects? Quantity of code in production?

[@slowjocrow6451]

Shouldn't JavaScript and Typescript be combined?

[@redestroyer7994]

While they are practically the same, TypeScript is an extension to JavaScript comparable to how C++ is to C.

[@ThatBoomerDude56]

My favorite language starts out on top!!! 😎🤓

[@cmilkau]

why is SQL in there?

[@wernercoetzee2316]

Exactly! It’s a query language, not a programming language. It’s like people back in the day that only did HTML calling themselves programmers

[@snitox]

Zig will be the future.

[@cmilkau]

this will take a whole generation. The question is, will its strengths be relevant in 20 years?

[@GRBtutorials]

Rust*

[@emypena]

C and C++ should actually be lump into one. It uses a commpon compiler in a same IDE and work with each other.

[@cmilkau]

still very different languages
