Popularity of programming languages

Yeah, meaningless. If I'm looking for C or C++ symantics for doing a while loop I'll type C in my search bar because I'm lazy, but I actually want C++. The numbers would be vastly different between: 1) search hits 2) active development 3) number of lines of code in existence The bottom line is use the language that makes sense for your project. If you have a small project and a bunch of experienced Java developers, why say lets use Ruby and take a spin up penality even if Ruby would be 10% better? It is a combination of the resources you already have, and the efficiency of the language, not one or the other.

This indicates the number of existing customers for a particular product or sevice.

guys want to date her
This may stand to indicate the waiting list of customers. So do you feel the latter is a good benchmark to ascertain the popularity of the girl?:-D

I don't know about all that other... stuff, but I really liked their colorful graph! So easy to follow. It must be true!

I have a crescent wrench in my tool chest. I use it for everything. Sometimes I strip bolts with it since it only has 2 contact sides. Sometimes I use it like a hammer. I have other tools in my tool chest that may be better for the task, but some times I am too lazy to go over and use them even if it does save me some time and less stuff broken. To me the crescent wrench is a popular tool, but some how I suspect it's popularity is not a sign of it's ubiquitousness but of my incompetence.

It means nothing, these things always mean nothing.

I was about to say exactly the same but I thought that for sure I was going to repeat someone... I found the proof right on the 1st click :laugh: Just to add... we cannot choose a language for a project from a rankings list based on whatever. To follow the latest hype is always a step further into frustration.
