If you take a look at this chart scale, you will notice Java has been the most popular programming language since at the very least 2002.Java has been the recent trend in "starting" programming languages in uni's and grade schools all over the world. Considering that the site bases its ratings off of search engines, and that learning programming students use search engines an extremely large amount, I think the chart might be a bit bias. Its not popular as much as it is forced down peoples throats. It doesn't account for the number of professionals who actually contribute to programming society.
I guess you have never heard then of Java applets inside HTML, or JavaScript powered web forms, or ActionScript powered Flash sites or even C#.net powered web databases?You're missing my point. Many online ones do exist, sure, but the "Majority" of all code written is done for an offline platform. I can confidently vouch that the sheer amount of offline prone code alone outnumbers the amount of javascript or java applets even; Online tasks aren't too particularly complicated. Theres absolutely no way a single site could calculate the number of people actively using a language based off of its search engine results.
The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors.You realize how vague that is? I dunno about you, but personally I have trouble finding the rosters of a business, let alone every programming business on the planet. On the topic of courses, the guy who designed that system must be a fucking master at artificial intelligence. It can search every school website, find its exact class listing, and derive what languages they're using!
I mean, how much of a research do you really need?The kind of research thats not bullshit. >_>
Nostradamus predicted the futureNo he did not. He wrote vague shit down in a journal and let people interpret it how they wanted. If he was truly as awesome as people think he is, he could mention specifics.
