Fortran joins the top 20 popular list in 2021

Everything old is new again!

FORTRAN was the very first programming language I learned. Pascal was the second and COBOL the third.

But after the transition to C as language number four, there was no turning back. It's no shock to me that it remains at or near the very top. (I am not in the thrall of object-oriented programming languages as many are.)
 
I'm surprised to see TypeScript so low on the list, then again, Javascript has come a long way and in some ways TypeScript is pretty pointless unless you want strong types.
