Bullshit. You're arguing as if every JS developer has to interact with every JS community. Stop presenting these ridiculous false dichotomies.
You often do though. For example if you want to do open source development on JS projects, this means that you might have to learn many different build systems.

My point was that TIOBE is simply more all-encompassing than GitHut. It gives you a clearer picture of the most searched programming languages, which includes both GitHub as well as non-GitHub stats. Also, GitHut counts repositories, not lines of code. Not sure which of C or JS has more lines of code being written every year, but my guess is that it's C (Java might have more than both though).
Yes and my point is that GitHub numbers show you a much better picture of programming languages that programmers actually want to use. Are we just going to go back and forth saying the same thing over and over though at this point?

Yeah, where “often” is defined as “this one example that I just conjured up”.

Nah, then it's pretty simple. My rebuttal is that I think "programming languages that programmers actually want to use" (besides still being a debatable claim) is an insignificant metric. The industry doesn't pay for what you want to use.
K, thx bye now.

When you are responding to a comment that says that programmers don’t want to use C... K, thx bye now.

I think the comment was that JS is more popular than C. ;)
It's the same thing I've been saying to you for our last 20 interactions here. But I'll keep going because I'm not going to let you get the last word.
SO let's keep going I guess.

Yep, you're right. It's anecdotal evidence, of which you have 2 data points on this thread. We're extrapolating here from what we've seen, for sure. If you have better data, please do share.

Yes, popular = the thing people want to use. And it was my comment and it’s quite obvious upon reading again, that my implication is very clear. That's why github numbers alone are better because it shows what programmers actually want to use. It's the same thing I've been saying to you for our last 20 interactions here. But I'll keep going because I'm not going to let you get the last word. SO let's keep going I gue…

I know I'm right. Thanks.

The GitHut numbers show repository count. I'm sure there all sorts of small JS repos with 50 lines of code, boosting project porfolios of people everywhere. Of course lines of code also don't mean something good: some languages are a bit more verbose than others. The TIOBE index shows what programmers search for, which is likely unbiased by LoC or repository count. My goal really is to help show you that JS is popula…
Nothing that you have said has refuted that.
However, I do find your comment about "JS repos with 50 lines of code" to be particularly humorous since you can do more with 50 lines of JS than you could possibly dream of doing with 50 lines of C. LOL :) Thanks for a good laugh.
