Assembly is too vague of a tag
"algorithms" as well

Yeah, this is basically what I came to say. Haskell's search volume could be because it's more difficult to use than other languages, or is more poorly documented. It would certainly explain Sharepoint being so high during the work week, having struggled with Sharepoint Configuration Mountain before.
That doesn't explain a relative search increase on the weekend. The stats shown are not cross-language comparisons.
You're right. Score one for misleading graphs next to each other though. The X axis scale for the right one makes it look much more dramatic than the left side, which is actually the real story.

It's a horrible product
Sharepoint should have been a great product for small to medium businesses, as well as government departments but yeah, it had horrible, horrible implementation and deployment issues. How I wish it had less .Net centricity and more adaptability to build or consume services in other languages and protocols - it could have been a killer business platform...

#44I was kinda surprised that Go (golang) wasn't up in the list
I was expecting to see Rust - I thought it was a considerably 'hotter' language than reflected by its current use in the wild.
Also, I find SO's coverage of it lacking. So maybe it's more about people sourcing the information elsewhere - relatively good docs, active and helpful community in IRC, and more Q&A on Reddit (albeit mostly - again, anecdotally - out of date, but still) than SO.

#45It may be better to group like languages/frameworks and compare them over time:
Django vs rails for example.
Comparing languages heavily used by acedemics may skew things since they often work on the weekends. Or game development languages vs webapp languages.

#46Given the current user revolt over there regarding recent political shenanigans by the mods (and CEO), I'd be keen to see how their trends track over the next few years.

Microsoft products are all over that graph

#48No big surprise that nobody works on sharepoint or XSLT as a weekend hobby.
lol... only someone who enjoys punishment.

Haha, since Subversion was born in the height of XML frenzy, they figured it was a good idea for the built-in web interface to just output XML and a default XSLT. That way if anyone wanted to customize it, they could do so to their heart's content by just specifying a different XSLT. I loved Subversion at the time, and so created the TortoiseSVN Menu plugin [1] for Firefox, and an accompanying XSLT to add lots of ric…
In my opinion, XSLT is a disappointing implementation of a great idea: a DSL for structurally transforming a data format, encoded in the same data format. I guess S-expressions fit the bill if you want to use a Lisp, but I wouldn’t mind having something similar for JSON.

"Picking up the basics of a language is easy, but it's knowing the nuisance that separates the professional from the amateur." From learning perspective correct. I don't think developers chase new languages, I think it's more, play 'catch up to latest language' to be more employable. You would hope companies, CTOs, lead techs choose languages to solve the unique business problems. Language choice looks more, to me, l…
I can't tell, I know many developers today who are on the new shiny js thing, golang, elixir, scalar, rust train, but they never got really good in their first language be it Java, python, or php. They use linux or OSX. But they don't know awk/sed/bash, give em a very simple problem, they would write 1000 line of OOP, united test code when a few line of scripts would solve it. I know many programmers, who graduated w…

Am I in the minority of developers then? I don't know awk and sed and I'm honestly not very interested in learning them. But bash I definitely agree with. I still use a cheatsheet to get the syntax right because it's weird as hell imo.
