Boo! But great example for "don't trust any statistics you did not fake yourself". Just a few points:

  1. why would anybody post an article sporting "Why we moved from language X to language Y"?
  2. it seems that follow-ups aren't considered ("we moved back because", "we failed miserably" etc). Why would anybody not write an article about failure?
  3. Audiatur et altera pars - complete failure. No searches for e.g. "we considered to move from X to Y", "we restrained moving from X to Y". Again, why would anybody post such an article?

Draw your own conclusions.

So, for me: no road sign, no red flag, no information whatsoever, no relevance in my daily doing as perl programmer, no valid sign where to turn to get paid some rent, after all this computing madness.

Going out to watch the river flow.
