ONJava 2005 Reader Survey Results, Part 1 (O'ReillyNet)
There's some interesting volatility in the middle tier of responses to this question. C/C++ is used by 18 percent of our readers, down from 27 percent last year. Are there more Java-only developers, is there less need for JNI, or is there some other factor? Other languages are down in this year's survey, including C# (down five points to ten percent), Perl (down seven points to 17 percent), PHP (down four points to 20 percent), and Python (down eight points to 11 percent). VB and Ruby were up slightly. Of the write-ins, only JavaScript (two percent) was mentioned in significant numbers."

The rest of the story is just as pointless. This is my favorite:
The biggest change here is the appearance of "None" as a response, based on write-ins from last year.
Perhaps what this means is some developers, like me, have already left Java behind for greener pastures. (Python, in my case.)ONJava 2005 Reader Survey Results, Part 1 (O'ReillyNet)
Agreed. Common Lisp in my case.ONJava 2005 Reader Survey Results, Part 1 (O'ReillyNet)
That's why they got far more responses this year than last, right?ONJava 2005 Reader Survey Results, Part 1 (O'ReillyNet)

12. What J2EE platform do you use?
If you change possible answers, of course you get different results!
