ONJava 2005 Reader Survey Results, Part 1 (O'ReillyNet)

[Posted September 22, 2005 by cook]

O'Reilly presents part one of the 2005 ONJava Reader Survey results. Included are some language usage statistics from the Java community: "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."

Perhaps what this means is some developers, like me, have already left Java behind for greener pastures. (Python, in my case.)

Agreed. Common Lisp in my case.

That's why they got far more responses this year than last, right?

Note that Visual Basic was up this year :-)

The rest of the story is just as pointless. This is my favorite:

12. What J2EE platform do you use?
Top responses: JBoss (38 percent), None (28 percent), WebSphere (21 percent), WebLogic (20 percent)

The biggest change here is the appearance of "None" as a response, based on write-ins from last year.

If you change possible answers, of course you get different results!
