I agree that Java is not going anywhere, but I could absolutely see a world where JavaScript and Python are number one and two.

Ya, but the ranking don't really matter, the usage does. It's possible Java grew year over year and yet lost rank.

I certainly agree that language rankings don’t

matter. In very broad strokes, “used everywhere,” “used many places,” “used some places,” “pretty niche,” “academic only,” these kinds of things are more useful than arguing which is 5 vs 6.

According to that Stack Overflow survey, JavaScript and Python are currently number one and two respectively.
