The Register has an article on the decreasing popularity of PHP, Perl and Python among developers (or rather, the number of developers using P-P-P is decreasing).

Remember the Register is entertainment - not news ;-)

I'm more than mildly suspicious of the results as stated.

Seriously - do you think nobody would have noticed a 1/4 drop in PHP and Python usage? Come on!

Actually I'm getting the opposite impression. I've just started paying attention to the job market again - and there seems be a heck of a lot more interest in dynamic languages than there was this time last year.
