Yeah, great list, thank you.
I am in love with Ruby and Rails as well. I am sad that it is going lower each year, but happy that it is still in the list :-)
But I do admit that Javascript and Python are just flying upward.

Javascript is of course on its unstoppable trajectory to become "the one to rule them all", frontend and backend ... Python, not so much - it wouldn't get half the credits and attention if it weren't used in data science, in web dev I certainly don't see it as being any more "hot" or dominant than Ruby/Rails or PHP.
