Popularity Memes

LinkedIn influencers really woke up and chose violence by placing Python in the "high performance" category. That's like calling a minivan a sports car because it has wheels. JavaScript sitting comfortably in low performance is the only honest thing about this chart. The real comedy gold here is that this person is a "Compiler & Toolchain Engineer" who apparently doesn't understand that popularity and performance have zero correlation. It's giving "I made a chart in 5 minutes to farm engagement" energy. And judging by those 32 comments, the strategy worked—probably filled with C++ devs having aneurysms and Python devs writing essays about how "performance doesn't matter for most use cases." LinkedIn: where technical accuracy goes to die, but engagement metrics thrive.
