[Disclosure: I'm the author of the deck] Lots of constructive feedback on the slides. To the questions of the forges included in the study, we were going off of the snapshot of data that Black Duck had available. Because it isn't randomly s

indeed. it also echoes Tim's "data is the intel inside" line of thinking from years past.

exactly. if you're comfortable talking about it privately, i'd love to hear about it. or even better, if you're ever in a position to blog it, make sure it gets to HN. either way, congrats. you're well ahead of the curve.

very cool. i haven't been tracking Palantir, which is a shame because their approach is orthogonal yet reminiscent of the MDM vendor SRD (since acquired by IBM, and the former employer of Jeff Jonas). and clearly they're successful with the

interesting. what are the software products that command high licensing fees launched in recent years that you'd point to?

[disclosure: i'm the author] yes, and i should have included that in the piece as i was asked about it when i presented the material at OSBC. examples include SpiceWorks (free IT management client, monetizes data / adverstising), to Google

If I'm Apple, Google, or Microsoft I'm going to care a lot because - native or web - users need a platform for applications, and those platforms represent a) revenue potential (see the iPad business) and b) a potential control point (see M

The data seems to agree. Django job growth is relatively stagnant: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=django%2C+rails%2C+node.js...

Ah, ok: the argument is that HN members will be mentioning "spring" with increasing frequency during the matching season of time? To answer then, no. The data is not cleansed for those purposes, so discount the Spring data as you will. FWIW

@jasonkester: the dataset only spans 14 months, so i'm not quite sure what you mean by yearly surge in interest. there are very definite horizontal seasonal fluctuations, though, it's true. as to the second question, matching is simply by k

@estel: no, the charts are not adjusted for the growth of HN itself.

this should be very useful. just hope the script loads quickly, as that's my only real concern with badges.

"Terrorism is a means to an end, not an end in itself." Precisely, hence my objection. My objection to the original statement is not based on the goals, as the statement below implies: "However, it's hypocritical to decide whether someone i

This is not correct. The fundamental - only, in many cases - goal of a terrorist is to inspire terror. The founders of the United States did not leverage terror in any capacity, rather they waged a conventional war to achieve their aims.

I'll do frameworks next, then. Any frameworks that people are particularly interested in seeing?

Ok, if you wanted data for C, C#, Erlang, Haskell, Lisp, or Perl, I've updated the post. Saw the Ocaml request too late to get it in, but your number is 1658.

I'll update the post when I get a chance, but in the meantime Perl was at 20,205 mentions.

No indeed. Language selection was a random sample, though I'm cutting off those with < 5 K mentions (e.g. C# @ 4553). Happy to run more languages if people have questions about them.

Ask and ye shall receive: the post has been updated with a new graph which includes data for both Erlang and Lisp.
