Does this data have anything to do with anything?
Because these appear to be percentages of jobs on indexed job sites that mention term X, every single programming language that I checked is shrinking in share. Is that because software is becoming passé? Is it because there's a sudden enormous demand for pipefitters? Or is it just because some hiring managers (but not others) have concluded that hiring people through job site postings is a complete waste of time?
And is the relative share of Java, C++, Perl, Ruby, and Python being completely skewed by the relative percentages of hiring managers who think that job sites are a complete waste of time?
I certainly would never make an open job posting for a Ruby programmer unless I had no other choice. I don't enjoy reading resumés with a shovel.
