Note that the way Redmonk calculate the rankings have changed, so you cannot
directly compare the previous ranking with these.

Other languages of note:

- Rust, Typescript and Powershell are three languages showing high levels of
growth in popularity;

- Despite entering the "Trough Of Disillusionment" phase of the hype cycle,
Swift's popularity continues to grow.
