I think you missed out on mentioning arguments for “best”.

This is always relative and depending on the project you need to develop for.

So, there is no “best”. Choosing a tool without knowing the full list of requirements is foolish.

Listing tools as “best” without arguments for which requirements they apply best is beyond foolish.

I cannot agree with you that right these 5 languages are the TOP languages.
I cannot understand why you have there PHP and Ruby, when they are by StackOverflow survey evaluated as the most dreaded languages (on the 6th and 7th places from 25 languages) insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/...
My next point is that you don't have there a C#, which is probably the most used language for Windows Desktop/Server Software or Swift which is used for iOS Mobile applications.. Not only Java is used for Mobile development!!

So the TOP 5 programming languages by my opinion are:
1) Python (for scripts and simple web backend or applications)
2) JavaScript/TypeScript (for any web or multiplatform development with node.js)
3) Java/Kotlin (both is running on JVM and are supported for Android development)
4) C# (for development any application for windows)
5) Swift (for development any application for iOS/macOS)

Is there no Kotlin?
Google is supporting Kotlin as first language to develop native apps for Android, I'd change Java for Kotlin ;)
