Where's HN and Twitter? :)
- jrockway 18y agoAnd github? They even give you the stats: http://github.com/languages http://github.com/languages (Interestingly, the stats are pretty easy to change. Perl was 2%, then Yuval Kogman and I moved our repositories there, and got it up to 3%. We advertised heavily on IRC, and now it is at 6%. Tripling the amount of code on github in a few weeks is certainly a sign that Perl is not dead. It's also interesting to consider that Yuval and I are 1% of the open source community ;)
- davidw 18y agogithub is too new and too unstable in terms of numbers, so far. Last I checked (a few months ago), Ruby was the most popular language according to github, which doesn't jive with any of the other data sources (or my own gut instincts). I've been keeping an eye on it, though. Stackoverflow is another one that's interesting, but currently has too much bias. Twitter... hrm. Yeah, might add that in the talk section. HN... I'd feel kind of bad about having an influence on the numbers myself;-)
