Top Programming Languages 2025

news.ycombinator.com Stephen Cass 2025-10-05 00:42:50

Since 2013, we’ve been metaphorically peering over the shoulders of programmers to create our annual interactive rankings of the most popular programming languages. But fundamental shifts in how people are coding may not just make it harder to measure popularity, but could even make the concept itself irrelevant. And then things might get really weird. To see why, let’s start with this year’s rankings and a quick refresher of how we put this thing together. In the “Spectrum” default ran

2025/7/18 - - Yichao 'Peak' Ji At the very beginning of the Manus project, my team and I faced a key decision: should we train an end-to-end agentic model using open-source foundations, or build an agent on top of the in-context learning abilities of frontier models? Back in my first decade in NLP, we didn't have the luxury of that choice. In the distant days of BERT (yes, it's been seven years), models had to be fine-tuned—and evaluated—before they could transfer to a new task. That process o

Uber rival Rapido doubles valuation to $2.3B following Swiggy stake sale

Rapido, a popular ride-hailing platform in India that competes with Uber, has doubled its valuation to $2.3 billion following a secondary share sale by food delivery giant Swiggy. The share sale comes just weeks after Rapido began piloting food deliveries, edging into Swiggy’s core territory. Swiggy has offloaded its entire 12% stake in Rapido for ₹24 billion (about $270 million) through two separate deals, according to regulatory filings.

We built FlyCode after seeing subscription businesses lose ~35% of recurring revenue each year to failed payments — even when customers had other valid cards on file. *The problem:* When a customer's primary card fails, Stripe retries a few times then cancels the subscription. If that customer has a backup card, it isn’t tried. At least 20% of active customers have more than one card on file, which means a lot of preventable churn. *Our solution:* FlyCode automatically identifies if a customer
