Python slithers to the top of the programming language leaderboard
@infobeautiful huh, I had expected rust to be in there too, isn't that the most hip & happening language?

@bazkie @infobeautiful hip, happening, enjoyed, but less used. According to the Toibe index it's 18th place, although that index measures differently and thus has a different ordering.

@brownhamer @infobeautiful surprising! it even went down, apparently!
@bazkie @infobeautiful indeed, good to take into account that Rust as a language has s rather steep learning curve compared to others
@infobeautiful I wish it were for a reason other than AI.
@bryanredeagle @infobeautiful A lot of tools in science/engineering are python-based. That gotta accumulate to more than tensorflow shenanigans
@infobeautiful Nice! And TypeScript is about to overtake JavaScript! Double nice.
@infobeautiful I wonder if vibe coders got anything to do with that? 🀔
@infobeautiful TypeScript is a JavaScript dialect. This means Python is still second place after JS/TS.
@jak2k @infobeautiful
You'd say Groovy, Scala & Kotlin are Java dialects?

@bertkoor @infobeautiful
No, but TS is very close to JS, just with some typing information added. All other keywords and syntax are the same.

Nodejs can even / will be able to run TS nativly:https://nodejs.org/en/learn/typescript/run-natively

Node.js — Running TypeScript Natively

Node.js® is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that lets developers create servers, web apps, command line tools and scripts.

@jak2k @infobeautiful about as much as C++ is a C dialect. Not really.
