Thanks Khurram,
I modified your search terms a bit to get a better feel - adding
"laszlo" as well yields a more pleasant picture for OpenLaszlo. I don't
think the "openlaszlo" and "laszlo" graphs can be added to each other
since one job posting could use both "OpenLaszlo" and "Laszlo" as terms.
Check it out:

Also, on a relative scale:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo&relative=1
And finally, note what happens when "ajax" is included:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo%2C+ajax&l=
True, ajax is used for more than just RIA, and has become somewhat of a
meaningless buzzword anyway, but still...Wow!

Hi Rich
I tried to calculate Adaption rate by using "Job Advertisement" as
proxy. I looked at Indeed.com for data
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%2C+openlaszlo&l
<http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%2C+openlaszlo&l>=
I could not locate, but I pricked this idea from some blog and think
it helps in predicting the Open Laszlo Adoption in depth.

Hey all,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this question - if not, let me
know and I'll repost somewhere else.
As an RIA consultant, I do most of my work in OpenLaszlo. However,
I'm not ignorant to the fact that there are other alternatives out
there. I love recommending Laszlo for projects, but I worry that it
isn't taking off as fast as it could. Out of curiosity, can someone
provide some insight on the adoption rate of OpenLaszlo?
Specifically, I'd like to know some historical figures as well as the
current adoption level, especially with regard to competing
technologies (plain AJAX, Flex, etc)
I think Laszlo is amazing, but I wonder why it's not being used more
frequently in the RIA space. Any ideas on why this might be the case?
Thanks so much for your thoughts! :)
-Rich
