What does popularity have to do with anything?

This isn't a measure of popularity (i.e. "technologies that lots of people

It's a report on "technologies that ThoughtWorks thinks you should be aware
of, and possibly act on"

If everything in that report was well known, there wouldn't be any need for
a radar in the first place.
