By what metric is Python the most popular language on earth? I'm actually curious, genuinely asking. I thought JavaScript (Node) was king of newly written code, but perhaps that is outdated information.

https://github.blog/news-insights/octoverse/octoverse-2024/ - "In 2024, Python overtook JavaScript as the most popular language on GitHub, while Jupyter Notebooks skyrocketed—both of which underscore the surge in data science and machine learning on GitHub."

What's missing here though is TypeScript: I believe if you combine JavaScript and TypeScript together they still beat Python on GitHub.
