is it possible to get numbers and units on the axis? what does the 80 mean, I think this is incredible
"a few surprises on this list – the continued traction of Java" I'm not surprised by this at all ... while looking for work recently, I was a bit shocked at how much of the doom and gloom being spoken about Java was wrong. It's not cool to say you're a Java developer, but most of the corporate world runs on it, even if no one admits to be the person developing those applications. There were even a few projects where…

>On the other hand, C# and Visual Basic are weekend coders' languages Or they simply have anti-git bias in developer's culture. Like F#, which is not popular among beginners but placed far away over median too.
Seconded. In C#'s favourite environment (Visual Studio) the GIT-support is so far from seamless that it's one of the last source-control/VCS's you'll consider.
* CoffeeScript is a simplied version of JavaScript that infuriates technologists with its technical compromises
What compromises and how is it simplified? If anything it's more complex than JavaScript.

this is an incredible graph, I am sending to all my coder friends

Keep in mind that Javascript is hugely overcounted on Github. How many web applications include a copy of jQuery and friends in their source? There are lots of Ruby on Rails applications on Github that list Javascript as their primary language.
Somehow I do not feel confidant about correlating language popularity on stackoverflow to the actual popularity. For some languages (e.g. in my observation:, c#, objective c), there are only few tutorial/sample code outside of stackoverflow as compared to other languages (e.g. again in my observation Java). This makes more and more activity on stackoverflow for some languages as compared to the other languages which…

Most notable to me is how many of the trendy languages on HN are less popular than assembly. Is that because assembly is somehow over represented, perhaps some library is checked in by lots of people? Or is this chart just extremely long-tailed?
