Blog Buzz: Java vs PHP vs Ruby

java+php+rubyAll these three languages are generating a lot of buzz in the blogosphere. It appears Java is currently having an upswing while Ruby is having a downward trend. I hope it is just normal fluctuations for Ruby and not the expected shit-hits-the-fan reaction when Ruby starts getting adopted in the enterprise ( sorry couldn’t resist :) ). If blogsphere is any indication PHP is still a rising star and getting lots of traction in the industry.

The buzz was generated using simple keywords and doesn’t exclude unintended references like that of Java island or ruby the jewel. Treat the data with caution.

I don’t really have a dog in this fight b/c I like using all three languages. However, I am curious how you accounted for Javascript posts. Did you include a reductive search as well? Even that wouldn’t work very well since there are likely a considerable amount of posts about Javascript AND one of the three languages you are comparing.
