| The source isn't necessarily a list of the most popular programming languages—it is just a ranking of the 33 languages that happen to have been selected to be ranked by the author of the site. It makes no claim to be an exhaustive ranking of all programming languages, so the fact that a language isn't listed in the source doesn't mean it's less popular than the ones listed. How do you know that languages such as Prolog, APL, PostScript, ALGOL, AWK, Eiffel, MATLAB, and INTERCAL :-) are less popular than these and weren't just omitted for one reason or another by the author of langpop.com? |
