The most basic understanding of programming language runtimes is sufficient to guess the entire Production-tier list. There isn't any need to talk down to us about $FAVORITE_LANG





I strongly disagree. I'd expect it to me much larger by now, at least, based on my expectations and not my experience.

And once you clear the small-community languages out of the "stable" list I think it's underpopulated there as well; it's basically just .Net, .Net through C#, and .Net through F# (which I'm sure is more the .Net than the F#, no offense intended to the F# team). Way, way more of the languages I can name off the top of my head in "unstable" than I'd expect.

And while I don't intend this to be offensive to anyone either, WASM is just generally moving way slower than I expect. Given how many years that has been true at this point I must conclude it is being quite underinvested in, or, to put it another way, I'm blaming Google and peers for underinvesting, not the people working on it. More power to the people working on it, their skill is evident.
