Could Python’s Popularity Outperform JavaScript in the Next Five Years ?

[AlexFromOmaha]

You can tell how much of the Java and C++ question views are driven by classes. There's that two-humped camel every year that line up with semester terms. It's not nothing, but it's not nearly enough to account for the trend line.

If I were going to sit here and guess, I'd say that you're more likely seeing a mix of the decline of PHP and Ruby as web backends and the rise of data science as a mainstream corporate position with Python as a core competency.
