  Their criteria is clearly biased in favor of data analysis tools. There's no way a niche language could credibly top C#.

    Why not? Every science/statistics/math/finance/economics person I know uses R. Lots of slightly more 'casual' users, but it's gone completely mainstream. Universities around here have it installed on most lab computers. I'm also pleased to see Fortran is still going strong. Great language for crunching numbers.

      Modern Fortran gets a bad rap, it's suprisingly good at what it does. I wish there were more than one production quality open-source compiler though.

    R may be niche as a programming language, but it's mainstream as a tool. It's a language used by many, many amateur and non-programmers. There are more people out there that have data to process than there are programmers.

      At which point they should include Excel formulas and VBA since ladder logic also made the cut. That would be the winner by far.
