But this particular screenshot from <a href="https://plrank.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">plrank.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> doesn't say the quiet part out loud — in these rankings Scala is no longer in the top 20 languages, a list that contains Dart, Ruby, Lua and VBA.</p><p>And sorry for being that guy saying it, but being #1 in the list of unpopular languages that few people use isn't great. I really hope this ranking is flawed, or that Scala gains some ground because it's a great language.</p>
