I think this poll was a little less skewed before news of it hit the Perl lists. Perl
was at about the 33% mark, still by far better than any of the others...
My VP asked after I sent him this info is: "What types of applications? How large of
products/applications are they talking about here?"
MasterCard is moving to a lot of Java for the "enterprise applications" - but I am
making sure that Perl is still firmly rooted here. We use it for RAD development and
lots of smaller, internal things. HTML::Mason is what I really enjoy for web apps :o).
anyway, back on topic, I'd love to have seen maybe a more detailed poll. Also, I
wonder if Sun was suprised by these results?
