Yes, note the marked downturn in the interest in Java. Even more pronounced than PHP, but it looks like Ruby is quite steady. :) hehe

Yeah. And Java is neither an island nor a beverage.

As said before, if everyone is already using Java, noone will search for “Java” in Google ;-)

The search volume is basically the increase in mindshare, not the mindshare. So Java has probably much more mindshare than Ruby AND the mindshare is increasing twice as fast. And if you search for ruby alone in Google trends, then it’s clear that a lot of search volume comes from the word “ruby” not from people searching for the programming language (News found for Ruby includes “Ruby’s remount row rumbles on”, “Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.28″ …)

You forgot the key, so I can only assume which line belongs where :)
