Did you take part? Do you find yourself in the pie charts?

Uhm, I would have taken part, but I missed it. It wouldn't have changed the numbers very much had I done so, it looks like I'm pretty average: more than 5 years experience with perl as main language, germany based company fulltime and fullstack, vim user etc etc. So not surprisingly I find myself in the pie charts, even if in others where appropriate; but mostly I'm in the first or second biggest pie.

It surprises me that so many name python as their main secondary language. I know enough python to dislike it, and not enough to like it. That said, job requirements make me program in python also if I can't avoid it. Most used secondary languages are bash (or sh) for some parts of the stack and JavaScript for others, several flavours of sql, C some obscure proprietary basic (shudder), then others. I wish my first secondary language was forth...

What most surprises me is the number of programmers in the mobile sector, given the little impact this sector has on PerlMonks. Or am I missing something? I wonder what kind of work folks are doing in there, and how many companies that sector comprises.
