Many indicators such as? Pain in your joints and dice rolling?
- batista 14y agoAre you on this internet thing? Many indicators such as things one can see with a naked eye. Book publications, article postings, HN mentions, new projects emerging, peak blog/media coverage, etc etc. Advocates of some language would like to thing it is eternal, but every single language has had ups and then downs in popularity, with some going away almost entirely, like Smalltalk, or slowly fading, like Perl and tcl, and others coming and going out of vogue.
