    I wish popularity wasn’t a factor when considering which language to use for a project. Just pick the language best suited for the job!

    “Best suited” doesn’t exist. There are several languages that are all capable of doing any job you want.

    Popularity means you’ll have an easier time finding people who already know it. And that there will be tools and library support. You don’t want to spend 1.2 million on a s project to find out that your language or major libraries are no longer supported…
