Meaningless chart/data is meaningless.

• lukas 17y ago
  It's fair to say that the chart is meaningless in terms of "what's a good programming language?". But there is clearly different sentiment about the different languages on twitter, and the differences are statistically significant. From a market research point of view, I think there's an interesting signal here.

  Indeed. For one thing, who says the people tweeting about a language actually use it?
  • piramida 17y ago
    Well they probably are, the valid question is "how extensively". I never felt a need to tweet about languages I use to code, why? So I think this represents a percentage of happy vs unhappy neophytes, with arcane languages being at the top since religious aspect kicks in :)

      Quines are fun and all, but I'd love to see a polyglot quine in Cobol, C, Haskell, Prolog, and Brainfuck.
      • davidbnewquist 17y ago
        Sighs that my quine is so 1999...

        Well C is reasonably easy to decompile. If you simplified the syntax a bit, wrote a really simple decompiler with it, perhaps so simple it really only works on one binary, that binary being its own executable... it could work.
