I wonder if the difference in results between the IEEE and Stackoverflow surveys might be due primarily to the different demographics.
You would expect working electrical engineers to more heavily favor languages like MATLAB or R, which shows in the IEEE rankings. But that doesn’t explain Julia being more popular in Stackoverflow, though — unless some working engineers still consider it too experimental for production use?
