Is anyone else really surprised that C# is a close second to Java? I'm trying to think of why it would be so popular... the number of O'Reilly C# books? The culture of .NET developers? (mild sarcasm) The ubiquity of C#? Something else?

I'm not surprised at all. Pretty much all of the enterprise software development that I've seen is either Java or C#.

The last version of Java was released in 2006. Since then Microsoft has released two new versions of C#, two new .NET frameworks, two new versions of Visual Studio and a plethora of new libraries. People buy so many C# books because there is so much new stuff to learn.

I'm surprised at ".NET languages" in #11, i.e. LINQ, F#, ironPython and ironRuby
