How do I know that?
Woosh? :) Btw, how do I see the current tally?

#22The images (I assume they're graphs?) are broken for me.

#23It's a bit unclear. Is it assuming I'm starting from knowing no programming languages, or is it asking which three programming languages I would learn in addition to the ones I already know?

Yes, but it's Google's stuff, and I don't have a direct access to that.
I'll sum it all up and post the results some time later.

The former.

#26The graph images in the report aren't loading because they are being requested at too large a scale. Something like: https://www.google.com/chart?cht=bhs&chs=305x900&chb... works.

#27I was intrigued that my answers for 1,2 & 3 are the most popular. I answered 1:C for simplicity and an an appreciation for where we've come from. 2:Python because i've never felt as free to express as when using python. 3:Javascript because it's practical to learn it.
For others who answered C->Python->Javascript, what were your reasons?

#28You've included many redundant languages while simultaneously excluding several classes of languages. Many of your other decisions seem odd. C/Pascal/Delphi are not so different from each other. C++/Java/C# are not so different from each other. PHP/Python/Ruby/Perl/Lua/JavaScript/Shell are not so different from each other. Arc/Scheme are not so different from each other. You've neglected the APL family of languages.…
I agree with some of your points, though I don't think making C/Pascal and Python/PHP groups would be a good decision. As for languages selection - I considered adding assembly, F#, ML, Fortran, Algol and some others, but I had to stop somewhere. I combined the options in DZone with GitHub top, and added a few other names. SQL was explicitly requested in the previous discussion, so I added it. Groovy scored above Lis…
As far as I checked, there was no stack based language. No Factor, no Forth, no PostScript. I missed that, that's what my "other" stands for.

#29It's a bit unclear. Is it assuming I'm starting from knowing no programming languages, or is it asking which three programming languages I would learn in addition to the ones I already know?
And order of importance or order in which one would learn them?

#30It's missing Node.js
