>June 2017 was the first month that Python was the most visited tag on Stack Overflow within high-income nations. This included being the most visited tag within the US and the UK, and in the top 2 in almost all other high income nations (next to either Java or JavaScript). This is especially impressive because in 2012, it was less visited than any of the other 5 languages, and has grown by 2.5-fold in that time.

hahahaha
You can also see the same trend for Python if you look at the slopes. All that this means is that more teachers are teaching Python, and more students are looking up answers and docs.

The total search queries decrease for other langs, increasing the ratio for JS search queries. These ratio graphs don't mean much without the data quantities.
Or maybe they realize Java doesn't work on the web and switch to JS.
The spikes in PHP around the new year days might be related to companies updating their websites for Christmas. This spike doesn't happen over the summer.
