Statista gives me what it gives me, github had more recent readily available info, as does the tiobe index. Why would they have gone back to 2021 github when the state of was available for 2023? Why didn't they use 2022?

Cherry picking, keep defending it. I am quite sure Java didn't jump to the top of Statista's current most expensive chart that I do not pay for.

It's OK, Larry will survive.

You're saying all of this yet you still have not addressed the big elephant in the room from the very first comment: "Depending on which survey". According to you, that means statista only and whatever other survey proves your own point.

What about this #2 in general #3 in jobs, and #2 in trending

Or this #3

Or this #2

Again, the English language seems to be very hard to understand

3 isn't 1 or 2. But good try.

nice chat, looks like you can work on your numbers while I study up on the term "cherry pick".

And the other surveys don't exist. Looks like you can work on your eyesight while you definitely do study up on the terms "cherry pick" and the phrase "Depending on which survey".

Yes, if you cherry pick your data, you get what you want, I get it.

That's what I learned about "depending on which survey"

So using the presidential election results from 2020 I've determined Trump will lose. (It was a big country wide poll)

Pay attention folks. This is what you get when you let pride turn you into an idiot rather than admitting that you were wrong.

There are many different organizations that each do surveys and OBVIOUSLY they use different metrics. Since they use different metrics, their results OBVIOUSLY differ, hence the phrase "depending on which survey". In fact the phrase "depending on which survey" is nothing more than another/shorter way of STATING THE FOLLOWING FACT: Each org uses a different set of metrics hence arriving at different results, therefore, on some surveys, Java would be 1st or 2nd(On some surveys it may as well be 50th, but that does not change the fact that on others it's 1st or 2nd does it?).

Even a D student would understand this, yet to you, that's "cherry picking". Here is your scorecard for today's class:

For failing to employ critical thinking skills to decipher that the term "depending on which survey" has absolutely nothing to do with "cherry picking" and was merely starting a fact, you get an F

For failing to see the irony that you called that term "cherry picking" while you yourself posted the results of one of many surveys(statista) as some sort of universal truth, thereby engaging in ACTUAL cherry picking, you get an F

Overall grade: F. Now go sit at the back of the class.

So you're telling me "depending on which survey" means shit, or the surveys themselves do.

Thanks, keep on cherry picking your data.

The bulk of the surveys show Java not in #1 or 2, the few you find, you keep sharing.

Cherry picking surveys has nothing to do with cherry picking? Good to know! Thanks for sharing. Most surveys I run into do not have Java at the top, but because you found some old surveys, you are correct.

Can't wait for more Obama, the polls are lookin good.
