From the department of useless statistics I bring you the same data, normalized by year. Mostly it shows C taking a nose dive, .NET in ascendency, BASIC going south as well, PHP and Java getting more hits and then (after removing that skewing data from the table) there's the rest of the bunch which C++ and Unix mostly stable, Scheme going south, Perl and Python going up, a big jump in Ruby. Removing that further skewing data from the table I see Forth followed by Shell. Removing those I now see Ada, Pascal, Fortran, Lisp, Cobol, Eiffel, and Haskell.
