Programming Language Popularity – Part Ten
I made a number of Google searches of the forms below and summed the results:
"implemented in <lang>"
"written in <lang>"
"developed in <lang>"
"programmed in <lang>"I opted to not move over the previous 9 parts when I moved from Wordpress to a static site.
I’ve divided the table into sections based on percentage increases of more than 50% from one language to the next. To compute the rank delta, I excluded the newly added languages.
