I was trying to be gentle in saying it's wrong. Consider https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019. Python is the second most loved language on a survey where the majority of respondents have 'developer' in their title.



but he's saying a different thing.

If there are 10 developers in the world and 5/10 use python, and at the same time there are 100 non-developers-who-code, and 9/10 use python then 95/110 people use python, and most of them are not developers.

I don't know if that is true, but you can't tell it by the SO responses because SO is more popular amongst developers anyway.

EDIT: tho you can see that python is more popular amongst non-devs than amongst devs, as "all respondents" use it at ~42% and devs use it at ~39%.
