C/C++ on the bench, as US snoop HQ puts its trust in Rust, C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Swift Don't forget!

The moment those languages give the performance in near hardware applications, I will consider stop using C/C++

Unless you have a specific reason to use C/C++, don't. Yes, it's possible to write memory safe programs in these two languages but it is impossible to prove, except in the case where you don't use the dynamic memory features that your code will not have a buffer overrun, use after free, or other memory related errors.

Silicon Valley jobs have always had a whiff of the sweatshop about them. While the perks are often fantastic, they tend to hide the terrible work/life balance.
Money, once you have enough to live on, is not that important. I would rather work a 40-hour week, earn a little less, and have time for other things.

I left my working more hours than a clock behind me a couple of years ago.
I am now getting a cut but I will be working 30 hours / week the next couple of years to have time for the kids.

Programmers are happy with their choices – and innovation has moved to other areas of technology, for the time being. No sense using any of those other languages then

No wonder we keep having security flaws. The NSA has requested all developers stop using C/C++ as their analysis indicates that up to 70% of all security vulnerabilities are a direct result of the lack of memory management.

Languages are tools for expression. Choose the language that best expresses your problem.
Many problems can be nicely expressed in C++, C#, or Java. For some problems, it may be a less popular language.

You can use one language for describing the screen layout, another one to describe the main program logic, yet another one for, say, matrix operations. It fits easily together, and it works!
Actually, it was very much the same thing in the old days, when an OS came with a single relocatable format, different compilers generating this format. Then came the integrated systems that only very reluctantly accepted to call functions in another language (and usually, that was one other language!), not generating modules for others to call. Languages added, say, object concepts, each in their own way. They defined their own calling conventions, their own string format, array formats ... and it all broke into pieces that could not be assembled.
Maybe .net will break up in similar ways. But for now, it is a great case of choose your language freely, for each individual functional area, and it all fits nicely together. Just like it used to be thirty or forty years ago, but also covering object concepts, GUI concepts, threads and processes. Great!

- CSS is not a language.
- The ranking were based on the number of git commits and stackoverflow questions
They say it's about "popular" languages but I would say this actually reflects the languages where most code changes are happening, and the languages that generate the most "how do I..." questions.
Take two languages. The first one is brief and simple and requires less lines of code for a given task, and less maintenance, and is easier to use due to clean syntax, documented and accurate libraries, a simple DevOps story, and (importantly) is not generally classed as a beginner language. Let's assume the second language is Python.
Any language taught in school will generate more SO activity. Any language that has crap docs will too. Any language that's employed in production that's built by non programmers, or has grown, fungus like, rather than been architected carefully, will require more code changes, more check ins, more bug fixes.
I think they are ranking a language's noise level, not its popularity.

CSS most definitely is a language, just one designed for styling not programming.

CSS is a set of toggle buttons subtly interconnected so that when you change one thing from "on" to "off", 10 other toggle buttons, 9 of which you've never heard of before, toggle to "on". And don't tell you.
CSS is our punishment for the crimes we committed against software design in a former life.
