If it solves my problems, I’m using it.

To be honest, some indexes where Visual Basic .NET in top 10, does not inspire real confidence on me =)

Yeah. Although I’m sort of considering introducing Lua and Julia at work after (successfully) introducing Elixir and that’s the point where I wonder what people must be thinking about me and my habit for fringe languages

I agree and these indexes don’t reflect technical merit or usefulness. Unfortunately (?), I think marketing and human factors are usually more significant than purely technical factors when it comes to adaption of new languages and technologies. Many of the people who make hiring decisions or have money to invest are non-technical people who care more about shiny lists and graphs.

Yeah. Fact is, most people are followers and their first question is “how popular is the thing you are using?”, which effectively shuts down any possible constructive discussion right there and then.
