Do you think the large gap between Python and Ruby on this is due to the Mac (I.e non-FOSS) bent that is in the Ruby community? It seems like Python guys are more OS neutral IMO.
- nikcub 16y agoUncertain, I would love to find out. A good way to do it would be to use data from GitHub/BitKeeper/Google Code to find user platform and dev language (rather than using a survey). I have had this in the back of my mind for a while now, initially I was going to survey these repos for some numbers on which open source licenses are being used the most - because I have a feeling that more and more code is being released under more liberal BSD/MIT/Apache style licenses over GPL. Could also collect other interesting stats and publish the results. It would be awesome if GitHub or one of the others had an OKCupid style blog showing trends/stats. Even if they anonymize the data and hand it to somebody else to do (and get it from the others as well) Actually if anybody wants to work on a weekend project to grep all these repos for some interesting stats, let me know.
