Other possible conclusions:

--People still use Cobol more than C and C++ combined.

--3GLs preferred over 4GLs by 4 to 1.

--There are so many 4GLs with no clear winner that people tend to lump
  them all together.

--More people would rather use BASIC or Fortran than have to learn Smalltalk.

So what's the point?


P.S. Is there an archive somewhere of all the Aharonian posts?  I'm afraid
that I may have missed a few of the early ones.
