By google....
WAO!

results:

 Web     Images     Groups     Directory     News   
Searched the web for c.   Results 1 - 30 of about 475,000,000. Search
took 0.14 seconds. 
:   
the speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s 
    More about calculator.

Google search is faster than speed of light if google scrolls all pages
in 0.14 s! ;-)

Searched the web for c++.   Results 1 - 30 of about 12,500,000 
(first result:Visual C++ Home)

Searched the web for ada.   Results 1 - 30 of about 7,110,000
(first result:ADA Home Page - ada.gov - Information and Technical
Assistance on ... )

Searched the web for perl.   Results 1 - 30 of about 19,500,000 
(first result:Perl.com: The Source for Perl -- perl development, perl
...)

It's popularity of words...of course first ten results pages are about
programming,but it's less than 0.01% of all results.And i think many of
"perl" pages not about programming,same with C++ pages.
