"leading programming language", "the most popular programming language" etc. Why it is a thing to rank this? I get gathering statistics but not it being an up-front thing.

I have not yet had a job where I would need such list for accomplishing anything :-)

Company/organization-wide decision making might need to look at such statistics for making long-term choices perhaps. It's pretty useless information overall...

Jani 110% agree with you!

Like with anything I try to find some framework for measuring tools and then do the Excel job ;-)

If I had to make a "how to implement ANY feature to kernel" I would focus that too on measurement. Almost every time when it clicks inside your head how you take your test samples, also idea for implementation suddenly unrolls. It's pretty easy to then find what you need from kernel tree. Learning a slice of subsystem is 1% and forming the right question is 99%.
