  1. So according to the graph, is Assembly extinct ? 🙁
    Maybe a distinction between lower and high levels could help map out the ranks. At the end of the day all becomes zero and ones anyhow…php is made of c++ and so forth…

    1. Not dead by any means, just not in the Top 20. (Our methodology changed in January 2014 when GitHub changed its data availability.)

  2. This is a fine chart and very informative. I just can’t help to think that it would be a bit quicker to traverse if it didn’t have those white dots at every row and datapoint. Its a bit distracting to my eye.

  3. Objc mor popular than Swift? 🤔
