One way of estimating the most popular computer programming languages is to have a look at the popular website called Stack Overflow. As the website says “See how technologies have trended over time based on use of their tags since 2008, when Stack Overflow was founded.”

Python seems to be the language of choice these days, or more specifically these past 3 to 4 years.

The above graph show a few of the post popular programming languages over time at Stack Overflow. In order they are python, javascript, java, C# and C++. Several other less popular languages were left out of this graph.
