    Programming Language of the Year[^] That's interesting, I'm not familiar with all of the applications that were "programmed" last year with this scripting language. :)

    Reading the original article, it became clear the T-SQL isn't the most popular but increased it's popularity by the largest percentage over the last year (almost 1%) - that what made it the programming language of the year...

      Now, I know what you're saying, but.. I am. I'm familiar with those applications. And they should be nuked. "Programming" an application in T-SQL is the most heinous crime ever invented anywhere in the galaxy.

            Cobol. In anagram form it sounds like a testicle.

            If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

                  Basicing anything of "percent increase in popularity" is generally nonsense, and good only for hype purposes. Say product A has 100 users and product B has 3. A year later, A has 110 users and B has 9. A had 10% growth while B had 200%, which sounds good in a press release as long as you ignore the facts that 1) A is still way more popular, 2) A added more users, and 3) A added more users than B has total.

                  Truth, James

                    Just right. For that you have to read original article - from that it clear how the title is misleading...

                    I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

                      I think I need to lie down.
