And the winner is.... Javascript. Makes sense if you want to write code on the platform(s) that reaches the most people you have no choice.

It's telling that its not about the language but how you can use it.



It also nicely demonstrates that a huge fraction of HN consists of web developers.

I think I've used Javascript once in the past 10 years or so. I work on all sorts of interesting stuff in five languages (C++, Rust, Python, Lua, Swift), just not on the web.


Same here, but in a much shorter time frame of four years as a developer. Javascript isn't even on my radar right now at work or even at home.
