A nitpick here: I think that even the most obscure languages are growing --
if language X had 10 people who knew it last year and 20 that know it
this year then its growing. The languages that are not growing are
probably Fortran and Cobol -- even these are doubtful (my alma mater is
still cranking out engineers having taken the required Fortran course.)
