My take was I've always considered Java #2, a piece of it, anyway.

It does make me want to get in the habit of typing "perl programming"
into Google more often just to pad Perl's stats.

A pet peeve of mine is when people create/cite flawed comparison
studies.  Like http://litmus.com/resources/email-client-stats, which
publishes a study of what email clients/services people use.  Problem is
that they use tracking images for gathering data, so naturally they
arrive at the false conclusion that barely anyone uses email clients
like Thunderbird, which blocks tracking images by default.  Even Gmail
gets a mere 5% presumably for the same reason.

I imagine they do not track any related items like cpan; so
everytime I do a cpan search I should add 'perl programming'
