I disagree. It is even more relevant to see that there are 120 Delphi programmers and 66 Java/J# programmers in this community. I am a Ruby and JavaScript programmer for instance.
It isn't a competition, it is a survey.

Yeah but it cant be counted as an indication for a Random Sample test "The base of any fair survey"
Here C# 369, SQL (any variety) 27,C++ 191,VB 155,Javascript 138,Delphi 122,Java / J# 66,PHP 55,Python 14,Ruby 6
But what I mean is that in PHP specialized forums you will see the same ratios but shuffled with the subjects.

That only matters if we were trying to gauge interest in the population as a whole - if we're interested in the people who visit this site, then things work out just fine...

You can also interpret it as so many C#-programmers needing help from CP.

I also agree the survey is a little bias since cp is a .net site. I did Java for 3 hears before I started C#. So If the same survey was done on javalobby.com I'm sure the results would be leaning a little to Java.

There is another thought that may way in:
Sites, such as CP, are also a community. Perhaps the survey also reflects a skewing towards those progrmming types who like the general* community environment?
* A mixed community is of a different nature that very topic specific ones, which may better be described a users-groups?

No it means that they respect PHP as a language.

Not at all, it's a survey on, for, and by users of *this* site. There are *no* places anywhere on the internet, not anywhere, that you could conduct a survey that would catch all programmers working in all languages in a completely unbiased manner.

Quite honestly it really irks me to no end when all I see are open source or M$ offerings a part of a poll.

No. If you want to talk about a dead language it's Forte' Software, their product Forte' 4GL Tool development environment. Later bought by SUN and then shelved because it competed with J2EE.

What's Cold Fusion?
Not trying to be funny here (No offense to CF developers): I literally have never run into it in 30 years of development. I guess I could Google it - maybe that's why it didn't show up in the poll, though - is it widely used?

Only C# is being enlisted. There are developers in VB.NET. Sometime back in General Discussions forum, there was something about COBOL right? Shouldn't .NET be a broad mention out there instead of C#?
|
|
|
|

Yeah i agree with you on this one. The languages are not being represented equally. It seems to me that some are not as important as the others. Some of us still use COBOL and VB.NET for that matter...

But the question is about programming languages, not frameworks.

True. But the point is that significant .NET languages are being sidelined?
