Hello guys,

for a school project I need to know which programming languages are popular. For this I created a poll and I would be thankful if you would fill it in.

Kind regards

I'm sorry but this is a useless poll because it does not ask about programming for a specific topic. I wouldn't use Java to write an operating system, and I wouldn't use assembly language to write a microservice for HTTP.

I have not preferred language out of a particular context.

Amen.

Also, the sample is a tad biased...

Are you interested in a programming language alone, or everything included in the standard distribution, or should I be including package managers and IDEs and community and tooling and available libraries?

The answers are quite different in each case.
