I share with Dan Neely (I think) a general mistrust of such surveys, and their methodology, more so for anything coming out of InfoWorld.

Swift popularity has fallen. And yet, people are still developing iOS apps. Could this mean that Xamarin is beginning to win?
I cannot see any basis for this hypothesis. A .33 per-cent "drop" means ... what ? If there a thousand developers using "X" to create a bunch of cheap store apps, and one-hundred developers using "Y" to develop apps that generate massive revenues and are used by many thousands, and ten-thousand kinda-devs putting up open source projects using "Z" ... what does that tell you about this year's salmon run ? I suspect that over time (sooner) Xamarin will fade in the sense it will be merged into the next shiny thing: MS must play in the cross-platform arena. cheers, Bill
