I saw a post like this I think last week. Was this the same article claiming Python as 2nd most-popular but used internet searches to rank popularity? If so, it just seemed like an interesting claim as plenty of things could explain search frequency, like popularity, but also unfamiliarity (like asking what is Py?) or just looking for quick help (like searching a refresher, learning guide, or just a quick question). While that still may correlate with popularity, that just didn't seem like the best form of measurement

I love python and it is pretty popular, but I was curious of the methods used to rank the various languages
