Check this site out for a comparison of the various module counts per language. It is really incredible that rubygems surpassed CPAN last year and continues to grow at a very rapid rate. Quality may be another matter, but still, impressive.

- adrianhoward 14y agoNice site. Well found. I find it interesting that PHP doesn't have anything in the same league as Perl/Ruby/Python even after all these years. Any PHP folk out there?
- milano 14y agoComposer (with http://packagist.org/ http://packagist.org/) is getting popular in the PHP world.
