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.

Very surprised to see rust so high and python dropping to typescript! I’m actually surprised typescript is so high in general, it’s still a bad language but I guess people just love not having to work with javascript, right?
Rust is great though not without it’s flaws. It’s kinda funny to see Mozilla laying off 25% of which some people who worked on rust/servo and these stats come out right after!
Nevertheless the stats here seem to be way off.
ASP.NET Core
is the most loved web-framework, which is just hilarious.ASP.NET Core is actually quite nice to work with, I’ve been using it for a couple of years together with F# on Linux and it’s great.

There’s telemetry in the compiler and runtime. Thanks but no thanks.

You have to set an environment variable to disable it (at least on Linux, not sure about Windows). Doable on the programming side since programmers tend to know how to do that, but grandma using the app you made almost certainly won’t know how to do that.
I’d be a lot less mad if they just asked me with a yes/no prompt if I want to send data to them. I’d still say no, but at least people have easy access to that option.
Definitely not a fan of Microsoft controlling the most popular JavaScript alternative.
It trans-compiles to javascript, right? I think it would be easy to fork/replicate in case the project goes south. I wish they’d start an independent foundation though and I think you’re right that relying on microsoft is always comes with a risk.
Not sure how much an independent foundation would help if Microsoft is still the biggest member (which they will probably be).
Python’s Foundation is heavily sponsored by various corporations like Facebook (top sponsor) and so far we hadn’t seen any corporate push or issues, though python didn’t start as a corporate project. Typescript could definitely do the same.
