How does it estimate the number of users?
Poorly, it seems.

Amazingly, it's still in the top half of programming languages! Which just goes to show how meaningless top N% is when you have a list of so many languages.
Top half measured how? Lifetime number of users? And, for whatever the metric is, what number defines the boundary between top half and bottom half? (I bet the boundary number is astonishingly low. Well over half the languages got very little traction.)

#34Nitpicky feedback, the PHP page says "Personal Home Page". The meaning was changed to the recursive "PHP: HyperText Preprocessor".

#36> Steel Bank Common Lisp, aka Steel Bank Common Lisp, is a historical programming language I'd call it a compiler, not a language, and I've never heard it called "historical". What makes a language "historical"? > ABCL%2Fc%2B is a historical programming language created in 1988.

SBCL is "historical" while Basic is "actively used". Hilarious

A very basic decision tree/random forest model. I haven't updated it since the first version I did about a year or two ago, because I didn't have users myself and no one provided any feedback. Thank you for the feedback! I've made a todo item to refresh/explain the model.
