JavaScript once again at the top of the list!

In the UK, technology analyst firm RedMonk has just released the latest version of its bi-annual ranking of programming languages, and once again JavaScript tops the list! followed by Java and PHP.
You won't believe me, but when we are called JS-Republic we are delighted to read these increasingly recurring rankings.
(Note that RedMonk does not base its ranking on a statistically valid representation of common usage, but rather on a correlation of language (Stack Overflow) and usage (GitHub) discussions.)
The top 3 are the same as in the January ranking. In fact, the entire top 10 remains the same as six months ago.
The biggest surprise in Redmonk's list is that precisely there are few surprises, at least in the top 10.
Here's RedMonk's top 10 (note the triple tie for fifth place though):

1 JavaScript
2 Java
3 PHP
4 Python
5. C#
5.C++
5. Ruby
8. CSS
9. C
10 Objective-C

Classification of languages

As the RedMonk analyst writes in his blog, “Positions have solidified, and it is becoming clear that it will take a serious event – ​​a crisis – to significantly alter the momentum at the top of the chart. The analyst suggests this is due to “a predictable period of consolidation” in developer tools.
More and more companies are built around software necessary for their activity and generating a contribution of 1.000.000.000.000$ to the American economy. With so much money at stake, it's no surprise that change is slowing down as companies seek to protect their investments in their tools and the software expertise that goes with it.
Further down the list, Redmonk's rankings show some movement since January. Here is the second half of RedMonk top 20.
11.Shell
12. R
13.Perl
14. Scala
15. GB
16. Haskell
17. Swift
18.Matlab
19.Visual Basic
20. Clojure
20. Groovy
