&gt; Javascript will probably be around for a while but Python and Ruby have been constantly shrinking in mind share and buzz these past years<p>At least in the scientific and data analysis communities, Python is exploding. I&#x27;d say it&#x27;s neck and neck with R. R&#x27;s infrastructure outside data analysis is weak but improving. Go isn&#x27;t even a part of the conversation.<p>Can&#x27;t speak to Ruby, but as the &quot;big data&quot; hype cycle continues Python will continue to blow up.
