Great idea. Do you think you might run with this idea? I like it as a corrective to TIOBE.
On another topic: I know that TIOBE sometimes lumps several related languages together. Does anyone know if they are doing that with "Lisp"? What does "Lisp" measure? Common Lisp? Scheme? Emacs lisp? Does it measure Clojure?

Based on Instagram's valuation, I guess I'd settle for a million for it;-)
- lkrubner 15y agoHi, David. I am stupid. I've checked out your site before and had totally forgotten about it. Can you email me at lawrence @ krubner . com? I'd like to know how much you want to sell langpop for.
