Most and Least Popular Languages: JetBrains vs. Stack Overflow

Grey boxes indicate that a language shows up in both the JetBrains and Stack Overflow lists. The languages are sorted by the most and least popular for each column.

JetBrains favorites are weighted by the number of developers using the language. The languages were selected by subtracting the percentage of favorites by the percentage of least favorites. Stack Overflow "loved" and dreaded" are based only on developers that already use the language. Languages not included in both studies were excluded from the table.
