This article is about a survey of programming languages. Despite it's
repeated use of terms like "managed code" and "enterprise" and claim that C#
is the big winner, the survey shows that interpreted languages like Python,
Ruby, etc. plus "scripting languages" (into which they lump Perl, PHP and
Javascript???) show a lot of growth also. C++ has a slight loss, Java has a
bit of growth.

No offense, but this is a wretched article ;-) The "Programming Language
Momentum" graph is absolutely horrid. They're comparing HTML to C++?!?
They're counting Perl *twice* under both the "Scripting" and "Dynamic
Languages"?!? "Deployment Platform Momentum" lists Windows.NET, Win32 and
OS X, but not POSIX???
An increase of 23% in C# usage can just as easily mean that this year,
five people used C# instead of four. *beats head against wall*
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics, but the absolute scum at the
bottom is meaningless corporate IT business-speak :-)
