Wait wasn’t JavaScript supposed to be most popular? Every device in the world shipping with at least one environment for JS?
Or does it not count because you don’t distribute binaries?
Or does it not count because you don’t distribute binaries?
From an article that analyzes Stackoverflow's developer survey results[1]:
1. JavaScript
2. HTML
3. CSS
4. SQL
5. Java
6. Bash/Shell
7. Python
8. C#
9. PHP
10. C++
I doubt that's true, while it would be more true to say that most devices in the world is running something compiled from C or C++. Also, The JS environment (web or Node) is running on top of C++ code.
When I have a React or Vue or Angular problem, I don't search for "JavaScript".
Only when I need docs on JavaScript's native features, for instance Array.sort(), I include "JavaScript". And even then I may use "JS" instead, but I assume Google knows that's a synonym for "JavaScript".
While each of those searches would be part of, say, a React project, I would definitely consider that part of the JavaScript space.
To be fair, all of the above would also go for Python vs Django, etc.
