This article might have some truthyness but the arguments would never lead me to that conclusion. 1. "wouldnt it be reasonable for searches for a mature language to decrease since devs are already very familiar with that language" - No, only if the language is also dead. Any actively developed language is going to always be expanding its libraries, frameworks, feature set, etc. and as a developer you constantly have to keep up. 2. Also saying total "java programming" searches quadrupled sounds good, but all other searches had a 5 times increase using his own data. 3. When I use his same method for "python programming" (http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=python%20programming&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=python%20programming&...), I get an increase to 86 (2013) from 54 (January 2007) for python. This would mean compared to java, python has had an 8 times increase! 4. Basically unless you know exactly how google is normalizing the data, you are not going to have anything worth reporting on using actual numbers anyway.
