Programming Community Index

I was reading SD Times and came across this website: http://www.tiobe.com/index.htm?tiobe_index from TIOBE Software.

They publish an index for indicating the popularity of various programming languages. I was very surprised to C# in the 8th place.

It is a very interesting to see the trends in programming languages and I am sure it is very useful. It would be a good exercise to look at their historic projections and see how those projections stand out against the actual data.

There is lot more information presented here and I have not digested all of it yet and I am sure I would have more to say once I am done reading all that.
