that said, i think the glory days of the 90s scripting language are over.

Actually, JavaScript is the cool thing of the day between kids and Java refugees. Big enterprises are rewriting server stacks because of the flexibility JavaScript offers.

I seriously doubt scripting languages are now worse than they ever were. I count 7 scripting languages in GitHub top 10 languages.

This is caused by GitHubs users, and is not representative of the overall developer population.

The TIOBE software index shows five scripting languages in the top 10, although their positions are lower than in GitHub.

If you have a wider survey that shows current trends any please share it.
