Description

Ranking the top 10 programming languages by questions asked on StackOverflow from January 2010 to December 2020. The top 10 "trendiest" is determined by the total of questions asked with the corresponding tag in the last 3 months of the checked date. The top 10 "all-time popular" is determined by the historical total of questions asked with the corresponding tag from 2010 to the checked date.

I had initially merged tags (C++/C++11, Python/Python2.7) but then rolled back as questions are much often tagged with both tags rather than a single one. So keep in mind the C++/Python tags might be under-represented a bit because of this choice.
I've left HTML as a programming language but removed CSS. CSS was ranking fairly high and preventing "real" but less popular programming languages from appearing, like Swift and R. I mean, you can do CSS but you're not a "CSS programmer".
