• D Programming Language

  It has, but it wasn't adopted by the pragmatists in that time. It's hard to tell if the early adopters adopted it either - It doesn't show up at all in the 2023 stack overflow survey (nor in the previous two years) - https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#technology-most-popular-technologies - It doesn't show up in questions asked on Stackoverflow since 2008 -... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• We migrated our back end from Vercel to Fly.io and the challenges we faced

  > In 2017 I had React projects in production for years. I doubt that. React wasn't stable until 2015, and wasn't mainstream until 2016. > And it only got worse and the overengineering to make it looks fast in the first load is not worth it as modern JS frameworks are faster than React out-of-the-box. Again, Next.js != React; the former builds on the latter, it doesn't replace it nor does it claim to be the same... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Angular v16 Is Here

  > I don't see any signs of that though. Even if we take it for granted that package downloads are hidden, how should we account for the ~40% drop in new questions in the Angular tag on Stack Overflow since its peak in 2018? https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=angular%2Creactjs%2Cnext.js%2Cvue.js In the Stack Overflow developer survey last year, Angular was 52% loved versus 68% for React and 63% for Vue.... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• What's up in the Python community? – April 2023

  Sure. Python isn’t going away. But Python has tripled in popularity over the past 7 years and a very very large portion of that growth is due to AI, imho. [1] So, will a given AI Python package be popular in a year or three? Maybe, maybe not. Will the top Python packages be AI related in 3 to 5 years? Absolutely, imho. I’d definitely take that bet. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Most Popular Programming Languages on GitHub by OSS Insight

  GitHub stars + issues + PRs is going to favour languages developed on GitHub rather than mirrored on GitHub. It also favours languages undergoing rapid development compared to those that move at a slower pace. Neither of these have anything to do with popularity, which means people actually using it. A better metric is what people are searching for on search engines... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Top Skills to Learn for 2023?

  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.

• The Collison Brothers Built Stripe into a $95B Unicorn

  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 / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is Ruby on Rails still relevant?

  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 / almost 2 years ago

• Go 1.18 Released

  > 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 2 years ago

• Why Flutter is the most popular cross-platform mobile SDK

  >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. A counterexample is that Rust is much newer than C++ and yet C++ still has higher volume of questions using Stackoverflow's trending tool: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=rust%2Cc%2B%2B I don't have the raw data... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Where is Ruby Headed in 2021?

  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.
