Voting is exactly not the way to figure out something like this.

  Whatever "this" is.

The question isn't even one of personal desire. They ask which will be in demand, even if it is a bad thing that the technology is highly demanded today and in 2013.

When did Ajax become a programming language? (Or is this a different Ajax that I don't know about?)
axod 19y ago
Erm since when were 'ajax' or 'html/css' considered programming languages?

  What, are you a Turing-complete-language chauvinist?!?!
  - dfranke 19y ago
    HTML and CSS are still programming languages in the formal sense of the term even though they aren't Turing complete. But including AJAX makes no sense whatsoever: that's more like a design pattern.

      I should clarify that I was being sarcastic. I, in fact, am a Turing complete chauvinist and don't consider HTML and CSS to be "programming languages". ;-)

I see List/Scheme as one of the options. Trocess lists by 2013.

  Well, hey, if such people can choose your coders for you...

This is so dumb. How can anyone with a clue believe this guy when he says these sorts of things: >Trevor's note: Even though Ajax and CSS/HTML are markup tools, not programming languages Huh?! AJAX is a markup tool?!?!? Also, "2. Javascript 7.3 3. Ajax 7.2" Hello... aren't these two the same thing?!

  He does the same thing with C# and .NET. Where C# is a programming language that runs on the .NET framework.

HTML/CSS??

I'm not sure there's an appropriate response to this other than "WTF?". Here are some things listed as programming languages within this article: HTML/CSS (markup and presentation languages) .Net (I suppose you could write .NET bytecode by hand) Oracle (a database that uses PL/SQL, which is listed separately) Windows NT4 (everyone's favorite operating system) ASP (a web programming platform that supports several languages, most of which are listed separately) Ajax (a programming technique, using Javascript)

Any embedded (or systems) programmer would probably chuckle to see 'C' so far down these types of lists. If you placed the same quiz on a site like embedded.com, the results would be different. +1 for the pointless vote.

On behalf of the rest of Canada, sorry! We're not all this stupid about programming languages!

Dumbest thing I've seen in a while... I just glanced at "Ruby or Ajax?" subtitle and already felt the smell. Over half of things presented are not even languages with ajax being just a method invoke... Well... the profile of the submitter explains this nonsense perfectly: "Head of Marketing at the Go BIG Network. The World's Largest Community of Startup Companies."
