I don't think such statistics matters much. Downloads is a bad measure, retention rate is what you want to measure (the ratio of people trying vs using).
Just focus on what works for your projects and whether the maturity level of the tool and the ecosystem supports what you want to do.
Different languages appeal to different domains, but with the less popular tools you have to do a lot yourself or create C/C++ bindings.
Compare eco-system repositories and you'll get an idea of what profiles different languages have:
