The list is based on search engine hits for "x programming". That's probably fine for comparing c to c++ or perl. Searches for "scripting" or "coding" instead

The list is based on search engine hits for "x programming". That's probably fine for comparing c to c++ or perl. Searches for "scripting" or "coding" instead are not counted, which probably explains shell scripting below languages 20x less popular if you search by the name alone. Powershell at ~40, bash not even top 50. You'd assume both are dead from this list.
