acroyearThe top programming languages.
What's deceptive? Javascript, down below C#, Ruby, and Python.
Why?
Most web server-side application libraries these days, especially in Web 2.0 / Ajax world, are javascript-generators. Most programmers using these libraries actally aren't aware of just how much Javascript they're producing.
In fact, the libraries I write are jsp taglibs written in Java (with XML), that someone uses in JSP syntax, which generates Java when run, which generates javascript and html, and the javascript is generating html with embedded additional javascript. Yes, 5 layers deep. That's what Web 2.0 is doing to us madmen who actually write libraries.
Crazy, 'eh?
