I can see most of the companies looking for Python, R and Go. I strongly believe this after referring to many job postings on multiple leading job boards. Is this correct?

Exactly the point to my question.
According to SO, C# is not the top dog as it is here at CodeProject. Just found this to be interesting is all.
|
|
|
|
|
But it is widely used by members here. Why is that?
|
|
|
|
|
C# users are more happier to vote?

Just wild guess - Is that because this site is primarily used by MS developers?

Who cares SO polls in CP. This is not SO site, so won't apply its results as well.

I think he didn't mean to "apply" something from SO here. Probably he is curious to know more about the result insights.

You put it in other words what I explained it. Beside that there is huge differences between SO and CP.
SO - Questions and Answers only.
CP - Questions and Answers, Articles, Tip/Tricks, Technical Blogs, Technology News, many more ...
Unless someone is stirring issues, a person with Six figure reputations won't miss the differences of CP and SO and asks this clumsy question.

It may depend on the languages we used before we migrated to it. I arrived by C/C++.

big same. I really like C#, but I adopted it before generics, and back in the bad old days of 1.x i really didn't like using it compared to C++
I love my templates. Then generics came along, and while they're no C++ template, they made me miss C++ a little less.
I still code in C++ pretty regularly, but only if I must. It's just more expensive in terms of time and effort. Such an elegant language though. I absolutely love it.
C# these days is pretty, but not elegant compared to C++, though it is compared to Java IMO, but it seems like it's becoming a little like Perl, what with all the recent extensions making the language look downright confusing.
Still, it's my go to language for most of my projects these days. And it's cool that it runs on android.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

The "L" in "HTML" stands for "Language". And HTML is what I use a lot. Not Javascript, not ECMAScript.

I so want to poke the bear, in a positive discussion way.
True, question asks for languages using. So unless people blindly read the question, everyone should have ticked other.
Why? how else would you have read the question if not using English.

I am surprised Code Project forgets the Lua, tonight.

This is the scariest thing I've heard in a long, long time.
That may be the largest PERL project I've ever heard of.
Do you like PERL?

I've worked for ActiveState then Sophos; the latter uses perl for big,
maintainable, high-volume services. Come to think of it, the Sophos
email gateway must be several hundred thousand lines by now.
Yes, I've seen crappy perl codebases. I was lucky enough to be with
people who understood Perl from the fundament up; and we learned what
well-formed, maintainable Perl required. Not hard.
I do indeed like perl 5. Its internal efficiencies might surprise you;
trumps Java.
It grafts on top of C/C++ modules easily. (For embedded perl in C++,
not so good; Lua is much better.)
I'm curious where you got your impressions of perl from, though I can guess.

Very interesting and great explanation. sounds like you have a process wrapped around the PERL and that's always good.
I've mostly seen PERL used for scripting. We had huge Netscape Enterprise Server logs back in the day and it was used for parsing through them. It was the fastest thing at the time for doing that.
But, the syntax is very off-putting to my sensibilities. But that's probably because I haven't worked with it enough. I've never seen it used for very large projects or even an entire app, just CGI and scripting.

Ok, I don't do FORTRAN anymore - but I miss it for some reason. 
A few weeks ago I had to look at some COBOL on the mainframe after not touching COBOL since 1987! 
Luckily I only had to read it to work out some data usage stuff; don't you just love DIM statements? 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Yes, especially DIM SUM

I'm surprised at the number of folks here using Assembly. I would love to be able to use that again.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I just picked up some books on Assembly, Embedded C is fun, but I've really been wanting to dive deeper. I was hoping to go through some samples this summer, but it's looking like I'll be too busy.
