In message <4at4t0$j5j@garden.csc.calpoly.edu> - dstubbs@garden.csc.calpoly.edu (Dan Stubbs) writes: :> Umm.. would this possibly suggest which languages people have the most problems with? Without further breaking down these numbers into subcategories of message content (ie bugs, 'learning the language', exchanging information etc..) the stats are fairly meaningless. Some extremely popular languages are not represented at all here (ie RPG) while others are underepresented (ie COBOL) presumably because those who program in those languages tend not to use the internet as much as PC users (hence VB being #1). :>The following table shows the number of posts to the "top 20" groups in :>comp.lang.*. Note that these numbers reflect adding up the posts for :>the various pascal and basic.visual groups. The java group has been moving :>up the list rather rapidly, and is undoubtedly in 11th place by now. :> :> 1 73,453 basic.visual :> 2 71,298 c++ :> 3 55,148 c :> 4 43,430 pascal :> 5 19,758 tcl :> ---------------------------- :> 6 16,033 ada :> 7 15,419 perl :> 8 15,132 smalltalk :> 9 14,390 asm.x86 :> 10 13,039 fortran :> ---------------------------- :> 11 10,438 postscript :> 12 10,388 java :> 13 8,758 clipper :> 14 7,310 forth :> 15 6,832 cobol :> ---------------------------- :> 16 6,012 rexx :> 17 5,412 eiffel :> 18 5,380 python :> 19 5,212 lisp :> 20 4,262 scheme :> ---------------------------- :>
