Funny thing about this is that Ruby, which I would have assumed would at least appear in the top ten, is not even on the list. Python is listed at number eight and C# at number seven. It is interesting to see the popularity of all these different langauges. TIOBE even lists how these languages are being adopted or dropped. Check it out

Thanks Charles. Now I have some idea of how they pulled together this index. I'm still surprised that Ruby is not on the list with all the hype it has been getting recently with Rails. Even if the methods used to put it together are suspect I found the idea of such a list interesting. I viewed the information cautiously and I thought I made that clear in the post.
Also, there are a number of Ruby On Rails zealots I've encountered recently that do think Java is either dead or dying. As for me knowing if they are sane or insane I'm not sure. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

On top of that, nobody (or at least nobody sane) is actually saying Java is dead. Many people are saying that Java is tired, or has serious shortcomings, but nobody is really denying that lots of people use Java.
So really, what you've got is a meaningless statistic that disproves something that people aren't saying in the first place.
