Interesting graph - I think the way the figures are calculated over-estimates the languages used largely in education and by hobbyists, and underestimate the languages that are less popular in these environments but widely used commercially. People in education and hobbyists are more likely to post to web sites including the phrase ” programming”. People using a language commercially might learn about things via colleagues or other means, and there would be fewer posts about these languages. |
