For five years running, Rust has taken the top spot as the most loved programming language. TypeScript is second surpassing Python compared to last year. We also see big gains in Go, moving up to 5th from 10th last year.

Surprised that Scala and Haskell are so low on that list, given all the hype for functional programming. And Elixir/Erlang aren’t even on the list
I think, the hype for functional programming is mostly around imperative languages adopting it, i.e. languages that people already use. Switching to a different language, even if it means this functional stuff is integrated so much better, is often just not an option outside of hobby projects.
People seem to really love Elixir, I guess it’s just not popular enough to make the top.
Regarding Scala and Haskell a lot of people actually dislike them as well so I’m sure how far up they’d make it.
