The Transparent Language Popularity Index

Results: July 2013 update
NB: Due to increasing complexity issues in search engines' way of displaying results, this project is no more maintained.

The tool
The Language Popularity Index tool is a fully automatic, transparent, open-source and free tool to measure the popularity of programming languages on the Internet.

The measurement of programming language popularity suffers two common problems that are probably the same for most market studies:

  1. The study depends on arbitrary choices on what to measure: blogs, book sales, wikis, open-source projects, jobs or videos ? Or which mix of all that ?
  2. The study may depend on cumbersome semi-manual methods with their own problems:
    • if the method is too complex, nobody will try to verify the results
    • mistakes may remain undetected
    • when a mistake becomes evident, one may either correct it but must admit and explain that the results were wrong for a long time, or postpone or smooth the correction.
The first problem has no real solution since it is a question of definition. However, a fully parametrizable measurement tool may help discussing the various aspects of that definition.
We have a solution to the second problem: the tool behind the Language Popularity Index is fully automatic.
Moreover, you can easily verify the results:

  2. But wait: since we are transparent, we also provide all necessary data to reproduce the above results in the following table. Note that you can click on each count of the cells (language, engine) to see yourself the results. Depending on your location, browser, language settings, cookies, etc. the engine may return a slightly different search count +/- a few percents. Note also that the time lag between now and the time at which the grid has been obtained (displayed on the top) is crucial: the search engine data are very dynamic, especially, of course, those with a one-year filtering.
