You've listed some nice qualities of Elixir but none of them necessarily make learning it worthwhile given a finite amount of time to invest. Do Elixir's ideas improve your thinking when working on other languages? Are Elixir developers in demand compared to other languages? Is it a fad language? https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=elixir Questions like this probably reveal more important qualities of... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

They have libraries for: iOS, Android, React Native, Javascript, Ruby, Python, Go, PHP, Java, .NET. Have you seen how prevalent Elixir is statistically? It's actually pretty niche and downtrending[0]. Where do you draw the line? Where's the Nix, Julia, Nim, Rust, and Crystal libraries? It's good to express the desire for it, but those libraries are all open source and are able to be whipped up by the community.... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
They all started the projects from 2009-2013 when Rails was the top web framework contender: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=ruby-on-rails%2Cdjango%2Cnode.js%2Cgo If you were to follow in their footsteps, you'd also be picking the top popularity web framework for your time, which as of now is things like Next.js and Django. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
> It's a stagnant language that will not get more popular, it peaked. I can't speak to whether it's "stagnant", but at least as a percentage of questions on Stack Overflow, the claim that "it peaked" checks out. The peak for Scala was late 2016. Go surpassed it in 2020. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=scala%2Cgo. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
>Since Flutter is newer and uses a less popular language there's many more questions about Flutter. This is totally expected. It's more complicated than your proposed cause & effect.

If you are actually really really paying attention to the hype train, Next.js is actually the trendiest app development tool. Go is a bit more infra and Rust more niche performance cases.

Is that a high-quality article? It feels like yet another clueless hype with arguments stretched to make a point. there’s no need to allocate space to a class instance, then call a render() function, you just call the function That module exports a class, not an instance (not that it was significant). React still allocates vdom nodes at mount, by using sort of new Component for function components and new... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Some decline: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=django Would django benefit from a marketing refresh? Of course. Unfortunately, unlike rails, it isn't a passion project for an independently wealthy person. At the risk of self-promotion, htmx is making all of these excellent, mature server side frameworks relevant again. They are very good at producing hypermedia and, if you don't try to turn them... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I bet most Python web frameworks (just checked with Django) don't report being Python (or even the said framework) in HTTP headers, so it can't be counted.

"Stack Overflow Trends" lets you search for number of questions by tag. I personally think this is a more robust indicator of language popularity than TIOBE's method. Here are the results for Objective C vs Fortran. As you can see, by this definition, Objective C is at least twice as popular as Fortran. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=objective-c%2Cfortran. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
What you described is pretty similar to my experience. I wonder if part of the author's sentiment about it being more widely deployed can be explained in part by stack overflow trends data. Basically, MySQL used to make up a much larger % of questions on the site (compared to postgres). But postgres had been growing, and MySQL shrinking, so now they're about the same on the site.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
>> Long term? Probably not. > If companies are sensible and have learned from past issues, yes. But I live in the real world, so no! In my world, more and more companies learns from past issues/failures.

I've checked google trends and for Julia programming language they are showing slow increase, at least that's my guess as generic search for Julia (choosing programing language suggestion) shows decline while searching for "Julia programming language" shows increase.
