Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

C# Moves Head in Statistical Leapfrog

ACM News Service: Computerworld Development Survey Gives Nod to C#.  This blurb has a wild collection of statistics.  The big news is that C# usage is moving ahead of Java, although it seems that there is wide usage of a cluster with C# and Java at the front, Visual Basic in the middle, and C++ along with JavaScript/ECMAScript at the trailing edge. Every one of these languages is used by at least 50% of the respondents.

The 2005-03-28 ComputerWorld article also makes it clear that Java is sitll used the most heavily although a number of people use both languages and .NET is the favored platform in half of the respondent's organizations.

The full article provides the individual questions, response tabulations, and methodology information.
