3.8 or less. 3.8 was released 5 years ago.
Not easy to find, but: Rust survey from some years ago. Reddit Node survey (Node actually provides download stats but they're raw JSON.) You could also figure out Typescript but again probably needs some processing.
Go actually automatically downloads new compiler versions for you.

> 3.8 or less. 3.8 was released 5 years ago.
The survey opened in Nov 2023, when 3.8 was still 4 years old, so 6% was on versions 5 years or older (3.7 and older, the EOL versions).
Thanks for stats. I guess Rust is partly well-updated because of the excellent tooling.
@FizzyOrange
I processed the Node.js numbers:
v22: 3.2%
v21: 2.1%
v20: 31.4%
v19: 0.5%
v18: 37.8%
v17: 0.3%
v16: 14.5%
v15: 0.3%
v14: 5.1%
v13: 0.1%
v12: 2.2%
v11: 0.1%
v10: 1.5%
v9: 0.1%
v8: 0.5%
v7: 0.0%
v6: 0.2%
v5: 0.0%
v4: 0.1%
v0: 0.0%
unknown: 0.0%
v12 came out on 2019-04-23, 5.5 years ago, so 5% is over 5 years old. Not that different from Python.
I think more importantly, Node.js 18, 20 and 22 are still supported, and we see a similar clustering as Python around non-EOL versions.

Actually, those stats are from 2024-05-02, the last one listed at https://storage.googleapis.com/access-logs-summaries-nodejs/index.html but they do have 2024-09-02 available as well.
Slightly more adoption of newer versions, still 5% over 5 years old:
v22: 5.7%
v21: 1.9%
v20: 39.1%
v19: 0.5%
v18: 30.8%
v17: 0.3%
v16: 12.4%
v15: 0.3%
v14: 4.4%
v13: 0.1%
v12: 1.9%
v11: 0.1%
v10: 1.3%
v9: 0.1%
v8: 0.5%
v7: 0.0%
v6: 0.3%
v5: 0.0%
v4: 0.2%
v0: 0.1%
unknown: 0.0%
Although 24.4% on EOL versions.
