Languages popularity by SDKs

| python | java | golang | ruby | javascript |

Unpopular opinion: measure language popularity by their usage in SDKs. Here I’ve collected some random SDKs (see below) and expectedly the following languages are the top:

  • Java
  • Python
  • JavaScript (Web and Node.js)
  • C#/.NET

Less popular are:

  • Go
  • PHP
  • C++

What surprised me it’s the investment in Rust and some still support Ruby.
