How popular is ASP as a stack? I'm looking at http://langpop.corger.nl/ http://langpop.corger.nl/ http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.... http://langpop.com/ http://langpop.com/ https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/pypl/PyPL-PopularitY-of-Programming-Language https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/pypl/PyPL-PopularitY... And ASP doesn't make the list, presumably because it is a framework rather than a language per se -- both C# and Visual Basic make the list, but that's not really a good indicator. I don't really know anything about the Microsoft stack, and I don't know anybody who does. To clarify: I'm not denying ASP is popular, I'm just asking if you know of a good metric to gauge its relative popularity. Apparently Github wouldn't be a good indicator either?

Correct, ASP wouldn't make (it onto) those lists in the same way I don't see Rails / Django on those lists, just their parent languages, python and ruby. On the site referenced in this HN submission (bentobox) frameworks and not just their parent languages are represented. To answer the question posed, I wouldn't know where to begin to provide a good metric for gauging it's (ASP / MVC.net) or any other frameworks / languages popularity.

  Rails and Django are both on there.

    I think you misunderstand me. Rails nor Django are on any of the lists contained in the comment to which I replied to. I explicitly acknowledged their existence in the site that this thread is about. edit: The point of mentioning that frameworks weren't included in any of those lists was in response to the parent reply questioning the popularity of the (ASP) framework as he /she didn't see it in any of those lists of language popularity that they cited.
