Today as many and many applications coming in world at speed never before so to maintain platform independent (which will be used regardless of any platform and browser) is must. Actually I also have a blog where I tried to give information to novice users of programming language. It includes prerequisites of learning language, comparison of programming language in specific domain(so that they will come to know which is proper application area of particular language) You can get all information about it at http://programminglanguagefaqs.blogspot.com/ also your feedback is most welcome.Thanks Yes, SpringSource is really working simplifying Java language(the language in which most of the part I haven't understood yet..just kidding).

The below link shows Java vs Python: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=java, python&l= but if you click the "relative" link, it shows how much that language is growing, helping you determine if it's "on the rise" as opposed to just "currently popular": http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=java, python&l=&relative=1 Also, O'Reilly occasionally releases book sales info, which I think can also be used to predict future popularity of languages: http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/02/state-of-the-computer-book-mar-18.html In addition to current language popularity, I like to see trends that show if a language is on the rise or declining.

Let me know if you have any suggestions, or something you'd like to see that isn't there. Glad you liked the stats – I'm working on some new features for LangPop that should be out sometime in March!
