I appreciate the kind feedback. On Reddit the average comment is so thoughtless.
It does seem like people are missing that the title of the chart is "What languages do the people who build languages use?" and explicitly not "What languages do the people who build languages use to implement their algorithms?"
No worries, I have to keep this stuff lighthearted or I'd go crazy.. :-D
But yes, you make a good point. My mind automatically paraphrased the question more as "What languages are programming languages implemented in?" but that's not really what you were saying.
To add a little extra value here, https://dbdb.io/stats is a site I quite like that is a "database of databases" and maintains stats on the languages used to implement them. C++ and Java far in the lead!
