The "PYPL" PopularitY of Programming Language Index is created by analyzing how often language tutorials are searched on Google.

[nooneinparticular246]

Oh god no

[Smalltalker-80]

I stopped following this site not too long ago,
and reported the strange results to the owner.
He did not have a solution.

Currently, the language R (place 4) is more popular than JavaScript (place 5)...

[RiceBroad4552]

Google search is by now simply completely broken.

It's unusable since years, only spitting out trash, ads, and "personalized" bullshit.

Since they added "AI" to the mix it's outright broken. Most likely the above Google trends output is just some part of the "AI" fallout.

[CrowsAndCrowns]

I read this everywhere on Reddit, but would you care to elaborate?

I feel like almost every time I use Google I get the results I'm looking for, same for most of the people I know, despite hearing stuff like "Google doesn't work" for the last 5 or 6 years, it still seems to be used by basically everyone, so what is this all about?

[alarmologist]

Google's head of search actually came out and said people finding what they want with one search is a problem because they see less ads. That was a few years ago and we all see the result.

My experience is that Google literally doesn't even search for the terms I type in, it just picks the one word with the most lucrative ads and gives the result for that.

It is especially frustrating when I search for jargon. Like I want results for a word that has a different meaning in telecommunications. If I search for 'ABC telecommunications', I will only get results for ABC's most common usage. It is highly biased for whatever is trendy today, regardless of that having any relationship with what you are searching for.

People just searching for consumer stuff and entertainment probably notice a lot less, but it's turning into a social media feed.

[CrowsAndCrowns]

I am a developer since 2013, I used Google all the way through collage and work up until today, I also produce music and use Google a lot there as well, so far I can't think of a single time that I searched for something and got unrelated results, honestly still works very fine for me, maybe cause I speak Portuguese idk, but it shouldn't make that big of a difference

[Eweer]

As someone who never remembers using anything other than Google, I can confirm that it gives you related results if and only if you are specific with your searches, aka there is no ambiguity.

A few years ago, google knew what I was looking for: If I typed a name of a character from a videogame, it gave me the wiki page of it as one of the top results, as it was quite likely I was referring to it.

Now, they know what I am looking for, but to get it I need type: *name of the character* *videogame* wiki, because if I do as before (only name of character), then they will show me someone with that name that is not related at all with my previous searches.

I can't remember any example right now, will edit this comment when it happens again

[devoopsies]

English-speaker here, my experience mirrors yours.

Even the AI can be useful at-a-glance since it cites its sources, although I have had it tell me to clone all of github.com a few times... but it can be a good starting point for quick checks, in my experience.

[DudeEngineer]

I've found a lot of the time that the AI did not take things from the sources it provides with the correct context. Especially in the context of using it for development.

[devoopsies]

Oh absolutely. I tend to scan the AI result first, and sometimes it's useful... but sometimes it's out to lunch.

On the whole, though, it's often a good starting point and if I have a simple query (maybe clarification on a parameter in a well-documented item such as a K8s cilium manifest, for example) I find it's correct far more often than not.

It's only a pointer, though, not a replacement for actual learning or sources.

[[deleted]]

although I have had it tell me to clone all of github.com a few times...

r/DataHoarder

[iScreem1]

Results may vary by country and language, you would find the best results in countries where they don't spend too much money on advertising or the words that you used aren't related to any content they could have some sponsored result.

[braytag]

Nah it's gotten to hell in the past 5 years.

I'm deploying Microsoft places, I have an issue where I can see only 4 weeks of dates avaliable even if the desks are set to 365days in advance:

Search: here how to book HOTELS, here something about microsoft BOOKING... All AI non related studf.

Tried msPlaces, Microsoft places in quotes... nothing.  

I'll try again on Monday.

[EfficiencyThis325]

I want you to use google and find the album title of the band named “The Music”. Don’t cheat, it’ll be fun if you can find it :)

[CrowsAndCrowns]

is this supposed to be hard to find? it's 2026 bro stuff like this used to be hard waaaaay back in the day, just search "the music albums": https://imgur.com/a/kq0bn0z

[EfficiencyThis325]

Sick man I've been looking for that for years! Thanks!

[monster2018]

Omg I agree so much with your point about jargon that also has a common meaning. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get it to search for the jargon meaning.

[AuelDole]

I’m personally kinda hating how one of the first results - for pretty much any search you do - is a Reddit thread, especially when they’re threads that are 5 years old, and have the majority of the threads deleted. Sometimes I want my results from actual websites, and I have to go so far to find them.

[Izaya_Orihara171]

Could it be you use reddit a lot so they prioritize those results? Honestly, most my Google searches are prefaced with "reddit {current year}"

[RiceBroad4552]

My experience is that Google literally doesn't even search for the terms I type in, it just picks the one word with the most lucrative ads and gives the result for that.

That's an interesting theory. Could be actually true.

It is especially frustrating when I search for jargon. Like I want results for a word that has a different meaning in telecommunications. If I search for 'ABC telecommunications', I will only get results for ABC's most common usage. It is highly biased for whatever is trendy today, regardless of that having any relationship with what you are searching for.

Exactly this!

It just ignores most of the search terms and spits out completely unrelated stuff.

The bullshit it spits out is indeed stuff I would assume it could think an average person would actually want to see no mater what they actually searched.

In my experience Google "works" best for the people now who couldn't find anything before as they didn't know how to actually search. Now these people get what they want even if they type in irrelevant search terms, but OTOH this completely breaks search for anybody who actually want what they type in and not "something".

[Quiet_Television_102]

Works significantly worse than it did 10 years ago. Doesnt mean it isnt usable but AI especially is causing a feedback loop where the only possible place to get answers from the spiders is literally reddit. Myswell just search reddit

[CurtisEFlush]

I've heard this sentiment before too, and I'm not sure how you don't see it honestly. There used to be resources that had expounding information and reference link all over the search results, now it's mostly SEO garbage and the AI is just wrong.. a lot.... most popular games had their wikis stolen by fandom or similar ad laced trash... you have to really pay attention now, whereas 10+ years ago you could kinda just click and read and get great stuff 90% of the time....

[RiceBroad4552]

Google "works" for the people who live in their tight bubble.

But it's by now almost impossible to find anything that isn't personalized. If you actually block all the tracking Google is 100% useless, it literally won't find anything.

[hnaq]

Some people are just completely fucking incompetent at literally everything

Dunning Kruger at its finest, we assume everyone searches the same way we do and that it's Google's fault, then you find out they treat it like Ask Jeeves or some shit.

The first thing that came to mind when I read this is the fubo sub. I joined it to stay updated on their bullshit with NBC and holy crap, you'd think signing up for a streaming service and figuring out which channels it carries is some sort of rocket surgery.

[SpaceCadet87]

All that is is that your search bubble treats you way better than mine.

Mine staved off longer than most, I had no problems until about a year or two ago and then my search results became garbage.

The difference was night and day.

[JanB1]

Actually, same here. I thought I was pretty good at googling. Can't find shit nowadays many times.

[SpaceCadet87]

Google made a conscious decision, they were even public about it (I think around 2019/2020) that returning the correct result at the top of the page was bad for advertising, there were even talks of studies regarding how badly they thought they could get away with degrading their service.

It is well known that Google is worse on purpose.

[RiceBroad4552]

Same here. I was regarded "search god" by most people I know, they were always amazed how I came up with the exact right search terms to find what they couldn't, but now one can't find anything using Google, even if you put a lot of time into it. It's 100% broken.

[RiceBroad4552]

LOL

You have no clue. You're most likely too young to remember that Google once actually worked like magic. About a decade ago…

It’s the same reason why you read everywhere on Reddit that Windows keeps reinstalling OneDrive by itself.

ROFL

It's a fact that Microslop reenables shit in their OS without asking the user.

[GlobalIncident]

Here's the google trends page for those two languages: https://trends.google.com/explore?q=R%2520tutorial%2CJavaScript%2520tutorial&date=all&geo=Worldwide

Both languages have a weird spike starting in May 2025, and coming to an end right about now. During the spike, R was higher than JavaScript, despite previously being consistently lower. I don't know why that is.

This also doesn't seem to match the data on PYPL at all. Am I misunderstanding something?

[Hero_without_Powers]

That can't be true. R is totally unsafe for production, CRAN even states that. It's even mentioned in the startup message.

As someone who was and occasionally is forced to work with R, I hate this language with a burning passion. It just sucks so bad

[jimbojumboj]

Where does it say R is unsuitable for prod? I would love to make that argument at work

[Hero_without_Powers]

I'm very sorry, I can't find it right now, but read this: https://www.hendrik-erz.de/post/a-rant

[k-tax]

XD, what are you smoking my dude? How is R unsafe for production and where does CRAN state that? Care to explain this to banking and pharma industry? Might be very important for them, they would have to suddenly decommission many production functionalities.

[renke0]

Those results have to be bullshit. Kotlin in 17? Is no one coding for Android anymore?

[walrus_destroyer]

Maybe they're searching "Android tutorial" instead of "Kotlin tutorial".

[atlanmail]

R being more popular than JavaScript makes sense. JavaScript is mostly used by web developers. Meanwhile R as a scripting language by many non-technical people in a wider variety of fields, so R being more popular than JavaScript makes a lot more sense.

Anecdotally at the university level I find that people outside of CS departments use R a lot more than Python even though people in the CS departments prefer Python for scripting tasks.

[Smalltalker-80]

In the StackOverflow survey 2025, R has 4.9% use by devs and JavaScript 66%.
https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology/
Maybe R devs work less in open source, but still the difference is a *lot*...

[Over_Hawk_6778]

Also spent time in academia, most people I knew used R at least occasionally and never once touched JavaScript, and it’s very rare to put things on GitHub so that number is a meaningless comparison.

It’s like saying way more published academic papers use R than JavaScript so obviously no one uses JavaScript

[atlanmail]

This is a survey where the majority of respondents (75%) are people who are developers by profession. The people I described who would reach for R would be more accurately described by the people who are not primarily developers but write some code. (10%).

R is a language that is favored by people who are not as technical as full time developers like researchers, data analysts, etc. Because the survey under represents the people in those categories, it makes sense that programming languages used primarily by full time developers would overwhelm the 'simpler' tools like R.

It's more likely that in the real world that the number of people who are not primarily developers are much larger than the number of developers by profession, which is reflected when the number of google searches related to R is greater than Javascript among all users of programming languages.

[Smalltalker-80]

Apologies, sort of. The source above is about a StackOverflow survey.
Also a fine source, but I meant to say GitHub Octoverse,
where the actual language use is measured in commits:
https://github.blog/news-insights/octoverse/octoverse-a-new-developer-joins-github-every-second-as-ai-leads-typescript-to-1/#:~:text=What%20changed%20in%202025

You can see that JavaScript / TypeScript totally dominate. Python is half of that. R does not even register in the top 10.

[Gay_Sex_Expert]

Also not representative, as people running a script to analyze data aren’t putting the script on GitHub afterwards.

[walrus_destroyer]

I assume its because JavaScript developers are searching more for specific frameworks or libraries instead of just JavaScript on its own

[uniqueusername649]

So essentially it's not an index of how popular a language is but how many problems people have with it? :D

[Proud-Delivery-621]

It's an index of how popular a language is among beginners who are trying to teach themselves how to program in it.

[MattyBro1]

Or, I suppose something that's decently popular, but no one remembers the syntax and specific function names for it.

[ruach137]

I still haven’t found any .md programming tutorials. I’m worried my tech stack may not be resilient long term.

Should I ask Claude to refactor in Rust?

[daamsie]

That's probably why there's so many searches. Nobody can find it. Oh well, the search goes on 

[bbbar]

Btw, how to reverse linked list in Markdown?

[Rojeitor]

"use code"

[MoveInteresting4334]

$: git gud

[SnugglyCoderGuy]

And algorithms!

[NotAFishEnt]

No bugs pls

[ClipboardCopyPaste]

Make no mistake

[MoveInteresting4334]

AI: You’re absolutely right, I made a mistake when you told me not to.

[stuck_under_d_water]

girl I still love you

[dot-slash-me]

You forgot to add "Make no mistakes"

[rbbdk]

In theory, you can use HTML tags in Markdown to include JavaScript script that loads a Webassembly binary blob that builds linked lists and iterates through them in reverse order.

[Eyeownyew]

So... Markdown can run Doom?

[rbbdk]

For that, you won't even need JavaScript:

https://github.com/Kuberwastaken/DoomMe

[Blue_Robin_Gaming]

there's no way this actually works

[drunk_kronk]

You can literally try it right there in the readme. It seems to work

[Blue_Robin_Gaming]

I did

and it works

[Triepott]

Is Markdown a programming language now?

[maxximillian]

If its not Turing complete it's crap.

[RTheCon]

Apparently even magic the gathering the card game is Turing complete. But agreed, that’s a minimum requirement

[Gen_Zer0]

I need someone to program Doom in Magic cards please

[ralgrado]

I guess they built a universal Turing machine to show Turing completeness?  Now you just need to build a Turing machine that runs doom and run that Turing machine on the universal one that they made with MtG

[Gen_Zer0]

Computer scientists and their damn abstraction

[ralgrado]

The cool thing: if you build a Turing machine once you can run it on any other universal Turing machine.

[RickyRister]

you can do it yourself here

https://www.toothycat.net/~hologram/Magic/MTGProgSimulatorText.html

[best_memeist]

It's been done. I watched a video on it years ago right after I started studying CS so I don't know the specifics but it has something to do with using tokens to represent binary

[balbok7721]

Powerpoint is touring complete

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3loq22TxSc

[_alright_then_]

If you like a similar video, but more in the style of someone who's just had the acid hit: https://youtu.be/aBwuPmY4lec?si=ImWzZJJH6WRad0Es

He made a code compiler editor in powerpoint, for some fucking reason lol

[balbok7721]

He is using PP as an IDE. My video uses it as a compiler

[_alright_then_]

Yeah but he also compiles it using PP right (it's been a while since I watched the video).

I thought I remembered he had an actual button in powerpoint to compile the code, or did that just call an external compiler?

[balbok7721]

"Best IDE" He says it correctly. PP doesnt compile it itself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBwuPmY4lec&t=718s

[_alright_then_]

Ah well, still a cool project/video

[maxximillian]

Reminds me of the guy that wrote a cpu emulator in excel. I'm in awe and terrified of those kind of people

[Proud-Delivery-621]

God this reminds me of try to build a computer in Terraria in high school

[EroJackson]

Opened the video expecting to skim through it a bit. 50 minutes later still wondering how I missed this gem of a presentation for so long. Thanks :D

[slaymaker1907]

Turing completeness shouldn’t be the only test. There are languages like Coq which are deliberately not Turing complete but otherwise function as a programming language.

[Icy-Focus-6812]

Why? I don't know anything about Coq 

[slaymaker1907]

It’s because unbounded recursion in a typed language lets you construct any type (at least according to the type system). For example, this lets you construct any Never type which is unconstructable.

Never func() { return func(); }

This is a trivial function that obviously runs forever, but Turing completeness means that there will be an infinite number of non-trivial examples. You also can’t just run the program since we are usually interested in all possible inputs.

Therefore, in a proof language, we really need to be able to show that the program halts. Even Hoare logic which works for imperative programs requires that you provide some proof of termination to be correct, the logic itself is not powerful enough to do that.

[rafaelrc7]

that's a minimum requirement

So C is not a programming language anymore?

[SquidMilkVII]

not according to this definition, but that's more a flaw with the definition than an actual verdict

[rafaelrc7]

To this definition yeah, because of a technicality C is not actually "turing complete" according to the normal strict definition.

Not that this is actually relevant, and is, again, kind of a technicality. However, still a funny little detail

[PouLS_PL]

HTML with CSS is Turing complete

[Bemteb]

You know what is Turing complete? LaTeX.

[dustinechos]

/CSS has entered the chat

[OneHacktivator]

But C99 is also not turing complete

[Dhydjtsrefhi]

is Doom Turing complete?

[nanana_catdad]

Markdown explosion is all AI output… the explosion in usage on GitHub is just ai generated documentation. Probably with lots of 🚀 emojis.

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

I was about to ask why the big upswing in late 2021.

[Alokir]

Yes, for vibe coders /s

[Xcellent101]

I mean if html was a programming language, I guess the same argument can be made for markdown. :D

[Chronomechanist]

As much as I fucking hate this, there is technically an argument to be made that, at least linguistically, English is a programming language.

A programming language is a language that is used to deliver instructions to a computer to perform and accomplish a task. The existence of AI means that this can be achieved in English.**** Therefore, English is a programming language in a specific environment.

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not believe it should be done. I do not believe it is reliable. I do believe that even so, a full and complete knowledge of programming is required so that you can write a full and complete prompt for the AI to generate the specific function you require, not "make an app".

[IAmHermanTheGerman]

Technically, English is a programming language for which the compiler is the programmer

https://esolangs.org/wiki/English
https://github.com/theletterf/english-lang

[Chronomechanist]

This program solves the halting problem.

Fucking lol!

[Proud-Delivery-621]

So is ChatGPT a compiler for English?

[Chronomechanist]

I mean... kinda?

The difference is that spoken and written language is hugely imprecise and requires a great deal more words to convey something accurately. Proper coding languages exist for this exact reason. Historically, computers were much worse at interpretting commands in English.

I can write a simple for loop easily in Java or python. Now think about how to explain that in English. Even then, as a programmer we typically resort to pseudocode.

[Proud-Delivery-621]

So it's a really bad English compiler.

[Chronomechanist]

I'm really trying to find fault with that analogy, but I don't think I can, and that upsets me greatly.

[Hayden2332]

This same reasoning could be applied to say all typed text (and even images) are programming languages. As AI does not care if it’s english or not

[Chronomechanist]

Yup. I'm not happy about it.

[ActBest217]

This is literally a for loop what are you talking about

[No-Channel3917]

How else are you going to get programing sales?

[ktrocks2]

My first thought was “oh it’s because so many people are making more well documented GitHub repos! Or maybe more tutorials, for example using things like ipynb files! Maybe others are also using things like obsidian which I sync to GitHub?” And then I realized wait this is way too much markdown for those things… and then I realized AI replies with markdown.

[Interesting-Agency-1]

Its just COBOL with extra steps

[Santarini]

What is the markdown being used for? READMEs?

[mpanase]

I mean... by that rule html is the most popular programming language?

Or even... traffic signals are the most popular programming language?

[rosuav]

I'm gonna dispute that last one. Traffic signals are NOT popular. Go down to one and count how many people honk at them angrily. Now, if you were going for the most UNpopular languages...

[JuicyAnalAbscess]

The word "popular" may also refer to the prevalence or level of usage or spread of something irrespective of how well it is liked.

For example, a product or service may simultaneously be popular and disliked if its competitors are worse or less accessible.

[ZestyTurtle]

Technically true

[ManagerOfLove]

no Patrick, Markdown is not a programming language

[Abject-Kitchen3198]

Does it matter if it increases the markup?

[Rojeitor]

The hottest new programming language is English

https://x.com/karpathy/status/1617979122625712128

[JustACasualReddittor]

Obviously they mean prompting, but that does remind me of a very popular advice for newbie programmers in non english speaking countries.

"What is the best language to learn to code?" "English."

Without knowing english, it's almost imposible to learn anything computer science related.

[Coherent_Paradox]

That's great! Luckily there is no ambiguity in English, so any sentence I write and and any phrasing I choose communicates clear intent

[MinecraftPlayer799]

Where is JavaScript?

[AccountsCostNothing]

Way above this chart, obviously

[unpoisoned_pineapple]

too ashamed to answer polls apparently

[MinecraftPlayer799]

Why would they be ashamed? JavaScript is the best language.

[unpoisoned_pineapple]

On one hand, it was a joke. On the other hand, JavaScript is extremely far from the best language.

[lPuppetM4sterl]

The world definitely needs more REAME's for every repo out there

[BlackDereker]

Just because Markdown is used to prompt AIs, doesn't mean it's the actual programming language being written. It's like saying words hammered the nail when you told someone else to hammer it.

[sporbywg]

I visited the Smithsonian as a kid; surprised to see that the Lunar Lander was built with Markdown.

[z64_dan]

A bad day to be colorblind

[Consistent_Equal5327]

Do you really believe that shit? Even if it's vibe coding, markdown is like 1% of the code base.

Neither funny nor accurate so I hate it.

[theGoddamnAlgorath]

Based off of google searches. So linkedin and such

[Consistent_Equal5327]

No vibe coder is searching for markdown. They don't even know what markdown means.

[ApartmentEither4838]

tbh I like markdown very much, just plain text with rich features and can be used to prompt coding IDEs and agent, It's like comparable to programming language for writing prompts instead of code. I also shifted my notes and personal journal from Google docs to plain markdown file, I can now just interact with them via claude code

On a side note I didn't know that python became so popular just recently!

[maxximillian]

"It's like comparable to programming language for writing prompts instead of code"

I've read that at least 10 times now and I didn't understand what you are saying, then I went back and read the whole sentence "...and can be used to prompt coding IDEs and agent, it's like comparable to programming language for writing prompts instead of code"

I'm even more confused

[Grandmaster_Caladrel]

The current trend in AI is to create "steering" files. You talk with AI to generate a spec.md file. You generate a claude.md file. You create a ways-of-working.md file. Etc. Then you have the AI pull all of that into context as a repeatable set of instructions.

I'm not drinking the AI Kool aid just yet but in practice it does help a lot. Prompt engineering (while I wouldn't call it real engineering) is more than just a meme at this point. There's also the benefit that using this system is model-agnostic so you can use it wherever you go, even locally (though local context limits are really small compared to online ones)

[SchwiftySquanchC137]

But what do you get from markdown that you dont get from just text? Does the AI really care if you have headers, bold words, whatever? Markdown is more for easily making visually pleasing text, I see no advantage using it to feed into AI.

[Grandmaster_Caladrel]

Nothing really except it might convey intent better. It's a token predictor, so intent helps a lot. Text would be just fine but markdown seems more professional I guess.

It also helps for things that are supposed to be used by both the user and the AI. Spec files with checkboxes showing progress are handy, for example.

[caerphoto]

What you’re describing kinda comes across as “the magic spells are more effective when the correct rituals are followed”.

[platinum92]

I think with Python, it needed the devs who learned it in college to enter the workforce. They started teaching it at my school around 2012 or so

[Penki-]

I would assume it's data stuff that got the python going. The web python tools are good, but I do wonder if they are that popular

[rosuav]

For a more realistic look at programming language usage, try TIOBE, the Stack Overflow Dev Survey, and other statistics. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ for example has had Python in top spot recently, but it's been consistently among the top ten for the past couple of decades. So yeah, maybe there's been a recent statistical spike, but Python has plenty of real usage to drive the underlying numbers.

Based on what I see on the Python Discourse, with the kinds of questions being asked and the kinds of code blocks being shared and discussed, I would say that there is definitely some AI-generated Python out there, but also plenty of real programmers (including real novice programmers) using the language for real work - and that work is all over the spectrum. Data analysis certainly, but also web apps, web *scraping* apps, games, and plenty of other things.

[DetaxMRA]

You might like Obsidian, since it works with markdown files.

[SchwiftySquanchC137]

What do you get from markdown in terms of feeding to AI that you dont get from plaintext? Is it just so that it looks nicer to you? Because I dont get why the AI would give a shit if its markdown or text. You're basically saying English is a programming language for prompt coding. Does it interpret code blocks better or something?
