- kingkongrevenge 18y agoBy any purely empirical analysis Ruby practically doesn't exist.
- petercooper 18y agoBy the same metrics, assuming you've defined any, a lot of things wouldn't exist - particularly languages less popular than Ruby now, such as Logo, ActionScript, Lisp, COBOL, Scala or Haskell. There are tens of thousands of Ruby developers and hundreds (if not thousands) of companies making significant amounts of money, all backed by Ruby.

- chorny 18y agoIf you look at TIOBE - they use bad query. Look at http://lui.arbingersys.com/ http://lui.arbingersys.com/ and http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?usage_statistics http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?usage_statisti... for Perl programming and jobs usage statistics.
