What is the point of these surveys anyway?
Python has seen a rapid rise in these surveys but is it because it's relatively easy to teach the basics in so that GitHub is littered with a thousand and one repos full of half finished code camps and beginners courses?
And is Google full of queries related to Python because a thousand and one poor souls were sent on piss poor courses to teach them how to program that didn't really teach them anything useful?
How much Java is actually being written into production by banks and big corporations behind closed doors without ever seeing the light of day and how many Google searches have been avoided by a few ctrl-clicks through a decent IDE?
What about all the C and C++ that's been compiled into who knows what and is running unobtrusively in the background all around us.
Anyway, a wise old dev once said to me that the real trick is picking the right tool for the complexity of the task you've been given and that's why no single language is better than any others. Apart from Python. Python sucks.
