I'm not sure though whether "prefer" (prefer for or as what?) actually measures popularity ... but what kind of popularity anyway? Fanboy-fellowship? People act

I'm not sure though whether "prefer" (prefer for or as what?) actually measures popularity ... but what kind of popularity anyway? Fanboy-fellowship? People actually using it for work that earns them a living? Hearsay/gossip?
With respect to your ruby example, I have been using ruby for about 10 years but stopped doing so a few years ago. So please excuse me if I fail to see your point. :-)
- thevegetarian 15y agoCommonly used and popular are not the same thing. I happen to know a number of developers who hate Java, but code in Java for a living. By popular I mean number of developers who actually enjoy using the language. There are better ways to measure usage e.g. job ads on indeed.com.
