01
Rust
most admired language for years running now, 72.4%. you will look this up again the first time you fight the borrow checker.
02
Gleam
new to this chart this year. type-safe, compiles to Erlang or JS, small but loud community.
03
Elixir
04
Zig
still pre-1.0 and people admire it anyway. read the docs before you touch the build system.
05
TypeScript
06
Lisp
yes, still. the people who use it really use it.
07
GDScript
08
Go
09
Python
top 5 in actual usage on the whole survey, and still this high on the admired list. rare combination.
10
SQL
tied with Python here. everyone complains about it and nobody wants to stop writing it.
11
Bash/Shell
