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!
