You have to wonder about the statistics if Assember is 10th. |

There must also be a question about which languages are used for frivolous things, and which for something useful ... |

the 'methodology' used remains secret - just posting the 'metrics' used doesn't tell how the various measures were weighted.
There might be a right boo-boo or 3 in there which throw the assessment off track.
Search statistics on various sites are no measure of programming language popularity.
'The top programmig languges' should reveal those that people actually programme with , not just 'use' programs written with a particular language.
The classicfication of say Matlab as a 'programming language' is dodgy to say the least ! It may have a 'scripting language' but that's not programming !
Maybe it's just a prorammers clique survey - only computer programmers could come up with something so clearly inconclusive !
I wonder which programming language they used to graph the results with . Maybe gnuplot - that's a scripting language - whatever's good enough for Matlab is good enough for gnuplot _________________ ''Computers (HAL and MARVIN excepted) are incredibly rigid.

Scripting language snobbery? Python and JavaScript are scripting languages -- at least they are thought of that way |

we need a distinction here between computer programmers' programming language and programming languages used by real people , usually engineers, or cademics, of one discpline or another !
