We'll share the results of an interesting Google University search that we
did recently using their search engine to search for the words Perl, Java,
C/C++ on university websites and dug up some interesting results. Of course
the searches returned all kinds of things like resumes, courses, papers,
etc. But it was useful to gauge the temperature of relative technologies
and guess what was most popular....not C/C++ but Java. Perl did show up,
acually it showed up the most at MIT but Java was definitely the most
frequently found term on the 90 or so universities listed by Google.
