Top programming languages in the world – February 2017

From the article:
The more a language tutorial is searched, the more popular the language is assumed to be. The raw data comes from Google Trends.

Oh so because the brain-dumps are sitting in companies, using online tutorials and stackoverflow to try and do their job, because they have zero knowledge and even less of a brain for coding, ergo they bluffed their way into their current position... it means the language is popular?

That is a flawed stat right there.
 
/in b4 "Only because of Wordpress and no serious dev uses it!"
 
/in b4 "C++ or nothing children!"
 
/in b4 "Keep talking, but we all know C is best!"
 
/in b4 a lost soul asks "Which language should I learn?"
 
/in b4 argument of "C# vs Java vs Python"
 
I don't like the delphi momentum.
Here's the index a different way - these are the languages that have momentum in their favour for whatever reason:

Pypl:

Some contradictions there - C# for one.
