Javascript is the most popular language in the world.

You're mixing terms, javascript is the most popular language in the world most popular means liked by more people than any other, nothing to do with documents. And BTW I doubt that is actually true, while I am sure breathing is the most popular pass time in the world.

Well I wouldn't really doubt this to be honest!

Nelek

The problem is not if it is honest or not... I think the correct word is "accurate"

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No, it mean liked by more people who answered the survey. Which means nothing since most people don't give a damn about surveys; unless they are on CodeProject.

You'd rather have heroine to be the most popular? :confused: Anyway, coffee is a drug and it's the most popular by far, way more popular than marijuana. With alcohol probably being a good second, and a way more harmful drug than marijana :sigh:

No, that is beer. And in the US, it would be closely followed by (prescription) opiates. Doesn't mean that is a bad thing either :)

Not the most popular, but the most used. As was VB6 once upon a time.

Well, I do enjoy it when the heroine wins the day. But if the heroine is found using heroin, then that's sad. ;)

Googling for "how many software developers in the world" brings back some article placing that value at 18.2M. Now consider CP has 13.6M, and that we're mostly Windows developers. And consider the most common language(s) discussed here. The conclusion I draw from this is to question all numbers people pull out of their asses.
