Go is #2 among newer languages

I checked out several programming languages rankings. If you only include newer languages (version 1.0 released after 2010), the top 6 are: ➀ TypeScript, ➁ Go, ➂ Rust, ➃ Kotlin, ➄ Dart, and ➅ Swift.

Sources: IEEE, Stack Overflow, Languish. I'm not using TIOBE because their method has major flaws.

TypeScript's position is very strong, of course (I guess no one likes JavaScript these days). And it's great to see that more and more developers are choosing Go for the backend. Also, Rust scores very close in all rankings except IEEE, so we'll see what happens in the coming years.

Way to Go!
