"Most loved", isn't really a good metric to work off. If you are serious about programming language rankings then Redmonk have been do this for a long time. The 2021 is here: https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2021/08/05/language-rankings-6-21/
Rust, number 19. Why, because it's kinda niche, along with Go and, dare I say it, Python.
If you look at all the critical enterprise infrastructure it's mainly based off the JVM so a good grounding of Java is helpful (not done me any harm since learning it in 1995).
Another year will pass and I'll moan the same in 2022 I assume :)
