Just clicked on a few buttons. For example, hid all but what
remains with the phone button. Still C at 1. How on earth can C,
and C++, and C# be ranked at positions 1, 3, and 5 for smartphones?
(Because of Android/Linux (C), whatever (C++), and Xamarin (C# for
non-Microsoft phones?) They've got to be kidding.

If not, I'd hope some day they start also measuring profit generated
by languages. Public sources of $-for-language include stack*.com:
their job ads seem to be sensitive to programming languages.
