Nahh, only because it's counting on google hits, it doesn't mean it's worthless If that were true then you would see quite different results! Look at sourcefo

Nahh, only because it's counting on google hits, it doesn't mean it's worthless If that were true then you would see quite different results! Look at sourceforge.net and compare perl and pythons numbers (2700 vs 4200) Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap) shows Perl & Python with 8905 and 12,149 respectively. Certainly interesting to see that C# has even more opensource projects on there than both Perl & Python with 12,192 :) Still no good looking at one repo site without comparing with some of the others for a fuller picture. Here are some other figures I just browsed for: Freshmeat: * Perl 3898 - http://freshmeat.net/tags/perl * Python 3526 - http://freshmeat.net/tags/python Github: (http://github.com/languages http://github.com/languages) * Perl 13% * Python 9% When it comes to site statistics, always take them with a pinch of salt when you try to imply meaning outside of their context!
