Lets run an analysis of the languages asked about on the midrange
listserv
and publish a web site showing those statistics. Bet that would show RPG
as
the #1 language in use today :)

Importance: Low


in regard to getting a guage on the levels of usage of programming
languages, stack overflow is worth a look.
http://stackoverflow.com/tags

I think a site like this is quite biased toward a specific platform, in
this
case Windows (so .Net, C# are most popular). By looking at these figures
you
get a good overview of the popularity of tools/languages on the windows
platform, but not in general. As more devs post about windows the more
windows devs it attracts, etc. These "network effects" are quite strong.
I
don't think a typical RPG programmer would post questions to this
specific
site as it is more Windows centric. I believe experts-exchange is less
biased. But the typical RPG programmer would first use google to find
information, i suppose.

http://stackoverflow.com/tags

It is a forum where people post software questions and others answer.
Questions are tagged by language, so you can see a summary of how many
questions are being asked for each tag.

it is relatively new and run by Joel Spolsky of Joel on Software fame

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.

http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/paperinfo/tpci/RPG_(OS_400).html

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:
