<blockquote>
<p>If you’ve read some of our other posts about the growing and shrinking programming languages, you might notice that the least disliked tags tend to be <em>fast-growing ones</em>. R, Python, Typescript, Go, and Rust are all fast-growing in terms of Stack Overflow activity (we’ve specifically explored <a rel="nofollow" href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/09/06/incredible-growth-python/?utm_source=so-owned&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=gen-blog&utm_content=blog-link&utm_term=polarizing-languages" target="_blank">Python</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/10/10/impressive-growth-r/?utm_source=so-owned&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=gen-blog&utm_content=blog-link&utm_term=polarizing-languages" target="_blank">R</a> before) and all are among the least polarizing languages.</p>
