This is really, really hard to measure. Look at this:

then this:

https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

The position of Java at #1 over the long term may well be slipping, but
Javascript is probably #7. Or #1. Or something.

So perhaps we should say "one of the most-used programming languages" and
leave it at that.
