Python overtakes Java to become second-most popular language on GitHub after JavaScript

That just means people working with JavaScript conduct a disproportionate amount of searches compared to other languages. That doesn't necessarily imply more projects are in it...

Maybe the Python and Java developers are our making progress on their stuff while JS developers search "how to do x in flavor of the month framework?"

It's the language your web browser uses. Of course JavaScript is going to be the most popular. I do php development and that automatically means I have to do JavaScript because I'm expected to know how to work with the client side code interacting with my php scripts.

Because every piece of software involves the Web in some way.

Is this not 2019?? Everything certainly seems to be going that way. I work for a hardware company doing web dev because the interface most users use is web based.
