C++ zooms past Java in programming popularity contest

Damn Statistics

"Popularity in this case is measured by queries related to programming languages that have been aggregated from 25 different search engines."

That seems a very odd an inaccurate way to make an assessment. Those measures may work for 'who's the favourite love islander?' (Or some other media twaddling nonsense) but not for a skill set millions of people earn a living from.

If I were (am) cynical I'd say the software company just wants some publicity from this.
