I know I haven't been around a lot, and the last time I mentioned this the trolls appeared, but those interested in the RPG language might find this intriguing:

RPG is now the 15th most popular language. I guess it dropped to 26th last month (as I've noted, I don't really keep track) but the surge to 15th is pretty astonishing, at least to me.

Even more astonishing, though, is the fact that since the beginning of the year, the demand for RPG has skyrocketed, relatively speaking, and continues to trend upward. Very interesting.

This in comparison to, say, Java, which is slowly trending down, and PHP which is basically flat (and has been since about 2005). And while C# still has an overall upward trend, it hasn't done very well in 2009. Poor old Visual Basic has been on a pretty steep decline since 2008.

Hey, at least it's not Perl:
