Programming Language Popularity – Part Eleven

:: programming, c, clojure, common lisp, elixir, haskell, lisp, ocaml, pony, prolog, racket, ruby, rust, scheme

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’ve divided the table into sections based on percentage increases of more than 50% from one language to the next.
