I find it fascinating that C# is in the "languages to avoid" section, because from my perspective it's receiving more and more adoption as the modern alternative to Java, in a way that Go and Rust are not. Different markets and all of that. So I can't see why C# would be seen as a language that is dropping in popularity (though I don't use it myself).
I don't think the data suggests that? A small dip, perhaps, as it is less relevant outside Microsoft desktop. But the transition matrix suggests that people move a bit between Java and C# and that people move from Pascal and Visual Basic to C#.
I suspect some projects move from C# to TypeScript, though.
I do worry that, having been using D for about 3 1/2 years now, that the perceptions of D outside of this community don't seem to be changing much.
But D isn't changing either...
