Robert Martin seems to cherry pick stats and trends and whatever that fits his world view. In Clean Architecture he cites a study with N=1 as proof TDD works. I have no hope for him.

Ventilen, or “friend to one” in Danish, That's an unusual translation. A more obvious would be "valve" or just "vent". - Edit after coffee: "Ven til en" actually means "friend of one". A

But it all of a sudden had a twelvefold increase - from the levels of Bash and assembly to be as popular as Javascript. Did something happen with Excel macros in Office 2016?
