The Most Loved and Most Disliked Programming Languages Revealed in Stack Overflow Survey (stackoverflow.com)
angel'o'sphere shares a report: The annual Stack Overflow survey is one of the most comprehensive snapshots of how programmers work, with this year's poll being taken by almost 90,000 developers across the globe. This year's survey details which languages developers enjoy using, which are associated with the best paid jobs, which are most commonly used, as well as developers' preferred frameworks, databases, and integrated development environments.
Python's versatility continues to fuel its rise through Stack Overflow's rankings for the "most popular" languages, which lists the languages most widely used by developers. This year's survey finds Python to be the fastest-growing major programming language, with Python edging out Android and enterprise workhorse Java to become the fourth most commonly used language. [...] More importantly for developers, this popularity overlaps with demand for the language, with Julia Silge, data scientist at Stack Overflow, saying that jobs data gathered by Stack Overflow also shows Python to be one of the most in-demand languages sought by employers.
[...] Rust may not have as many users as Python or JavaScript but it has earned a lot of affection from those who use it. For the fourth year running, the language tops Stack Overflow's list of "most-loved" languages, which means the proportion of Rust developers who want to continue working with it is larger than that of any other language.[...] Go stands out as a language that is well paid, while also being sought after and where developers report high levels of job satisfaction. Full report here.

I looked at the survey and it demanded a lot of random personal information, I didn't fill it in. So the data from it is biased towards people who freely give up their personal data for no benefit to themselves.

*pulls out moto x pure and stares at it.* There is an Android programming language? who knew?
Reread the sentence
with Python edging out Android and enterprise workhorse Java
It is not well constructed but a second glance clarifies things. It would be better written, if still clunk, thus
with Python edging out Android-and-enterprise-workhorse Java

"Do I think that more people will start using Python than SQL? That would be tough, SQL plays a role in huge swathes of the economy. I'd be surprised if next year Python overtakes SQL, just because SQL is so dominant."
SQL is #3 on the list. Since when did SQL become a programming language SQL us a a QUERY language.

Count the number of times Perl is mentioned in the comments here, it will give You a hint on what it has become: irrelevant.
I am probably as sad as You are about this fact of life, let's mourn our beloved programming language together, fellow Perlist.
