Most Popular Programming Languages | 1965 - 2019
Timeline of the most popular programming languages since 1965 to 2019. So far the most intense ranking I've ever done :)
2019-10-07 19:00:00 - Data Is Beautiful
For recent years I've used multiple programming languages popularity indexes with adjustments thanks to the data from GitHub repositories access frequency.
For historical ranking I've used aggregation of multiple national surveys to establish several data points, plus a world wide publications rate of occurrence. In this ranking popularity is defined by percentage of programmers with either proficiency in specific language or currently learning/mastering one. Y axis a relative value to define ranking popularity between all other items.
Have fun!
