Ask and ye shall receive: the post has been updated with a new graph which includes data for both Erlang and Lisp.

I'd also like to see Haskell, which tends to be popular on Internet forums.

[neckbeard]

Or C and C++, which tend to be popular with people that get real work done.

[nostrademons]

Dude, most people I know who use C or C++ for their daily work tend to curse them. I wouldn't exactly call them popular. Of course, those same people then bite their tongue and go back to work, because they have actual work to do.

How about our good friend, C ?

Thanks! I thought perhaps the numbers were so low for those languages that they didn't merit inclusion, but that seems not to be the case (certainly not for Lisp).

[sogrady]

No indeed. Language selection was a random sample, though I'm cutting off those with < 5 K mentions (e.g. C# @ 4553). Happy to run more languages if people have questions about them.

I wonder what kind of numbers Perl would get?

[sogrady]

I'll update the post when I get a chance, but in the meantime Perl was at 20,205 mentions.

[ZeroMinx]

cool thanks

OCaml?
