Somebody else may have picked 20 different open source software from 6 different companies. The list is not the objectively most important 20 from those 6. But somebody picked them - and it was not me.

I find it interesting to look at the underlying technologies:

Kubernetes - Go
TensorFlow - Python
Go - Go
Angular - JavaScript
React - JavaScript
PyTorch - Python
GraphQL - neutral
Cassandra - Java
VS Code - JavaScript
TypeScript - JavaScript
Playwright - JavaScript
Chaos Monkey - Go
Hysterix - Java
Zuul - Java
Kafka - Java
Samza - Java
Pinot - Java
Ansible - Python
Redhat - C
Ceph - C++

adds up to:

Java : 6
JavaScript : 5
Python : 3
Go : 3
C/C++ : 2
neutral : 1 

That Java, JavaScript and Python are in top is no surprise - they are almost always top 3. That C/C++ are tiny is no surprise either - they are not in fashion. The surprising is that Go is so prominent. While C#, PHP, Ruby, Rust etc. are missing. Maybe Go is worth an extra look!
