These statistics can be very misleading as they show interest over time and cannot easily be compared.
For example, this is a comparison between LabVIEW (blue), Simulink (yellow), and Node-RED (red):
Here is another comparison between PHP (blue), C++ (red), C (yellow), JavaScript (green), and C# (purple):
Relatively, each of these languages shows considerable less interest over time and converge towards a similar value. Unfortunately, we can't get the full picture as we do not have earlier data. Otherwise, it would probably show pretty much the same curve as Python does. We are just further along the curve (the hype is over 🙁).
For the sake of completeness, this is the graph for Python:
While everyone is clearly interested in Python, this doesn't mean that any of the other languages is suddenly going to be obsolete or non-functional. People (and businesses) will always follow the hype train, of course.
Though, we should certainly not fall victim to ignorance as clearly the LabVIEW community is not quite as enthusiastic as it used to be. I wonder if we should pitch a Python port of LabVIEW to NI... 😈
