The RedMonk Programming Language Rankings: June 2019

“With the exception of one quarter in 2018 in which Swift placed tenth, it has been five years since we saw the entrant of a new top ten language. In this quarter’s run, however, TypeScript continued its upwards surge by placing tenth ”

Swift should be heading back into the top 10 because of the release of the ABI. Also, SwiftUI should generate a lot of interest.

I was also surprised by the popularity of Scala. I thought Kotlin had more buzz and was stealing users.
