What i found interesting is the comparison between the "newer"
languages and D ( see the reddit thread ).
9 Go 4.1022
15 Kotlin 1.2798
18 Rust 0.7317
35 Julia 0.0900
46 Vala 0.0665
50 Crystal 0.0498
53 D 0.047%
While i can understand Rust ( Mozilla ), Kotlin ( Jetbrain ),
Go ( Google ).
Even Vala and Crystal are ranked higher then D.
Yes, those stats are interesting too, but Go seems to do much
better than Rust. And if the trend is that people move from Rust
to Go and from Go to Python it might mean that people might start
out trying out new languages with performance goals in mind, but
eventually go for productivity when they realize that they pay a
fairly high price for those performance gains? Anyway, with
Python 3.6 you get fairly good type annotation capabilities which
allows static type checking that is closing on what you get with
statically typed languages. Maybe that is a factor too.
