The big three are Java, C# and C(++). But I do not need to go to indeed to know that.
Indeed is used often to show that language a has more adoption than language b. a and b being languages in the non- or pre-commercial domain. I'm only arguing that statements like "haskell overtakes prolog, statical typing > declarative programming" cannot be inferred from indeed data.
As for the "reasonable indicator": if the average java/php job points out that "haskell/erlang/prolog is a pre" , job ads might only be a reasonable indicator for the languages we already know to be at the top.

- route66 15y agoI assume nothing. I'm only wondering about the tone sneaking in. That aside: I just notice: <programming language> is on the rise according to indeed.com trend stats. I follow the link "watch <programming language> jobs" I see that virtually none of the ads offer jobs where this pl is used. What do you make of that?
- thebluesky 15y agoAccording to my reading of the blog commercial adoption of Clojure is low despite its popularity amongst programmers. Your comments regarding the lack of valid jobs for Clojure supports this argument rather than refutes it. Also, you noted that Scala ads on indeed.com were in fact valid (which the blog seems to argue is being adopted commercially). In both cases the data you observed was in agreement with the conclusions drawn.
