Two percent. Is that by weight or volume (contents may have settled during
shipping :-)) or by amount of CPU cycles consumed on a yearly basis or
dollar volume in the "software market" or what? What's the margin of error
on the survey (whose source, by the way, you have conveniently failed to
mention)? What are the percentages for other languages of interest?
That vendors of commercial software would announce the underlying language
used in their implementations is surprising enough to me. That Ada would
have as much as two percent of the market is even more astounding.
Still, a little backup material on this claim is warranted.
