I compared perl and JavaScript:

And they both have a similar decline.

JavaScript is so yesterday, Ada is clearly the language of the future. :P

How does Google calculate interest? What's it normalized against? The overall decline might just be a function of the decline of software engineers as a percentage of the internet using population over time.

Javascript is ~2x more popular at the start but is ~8x more popular now.

The absolute decline looks similar but given javascript's higher starting value the relative decline is much less.
