  C# Java Perl PHP Ruby

  2 Comments

  
  A few days ago I posted a comparison of C# vs Ruby. So I thought what about adding some more populair programming languages to the graph. And what to we see below:
  
  

  c#

  2.05

    

  ruby

  1.00

    

  php

  3.65

    

  perl

  0.75

    

  java

  7.65

   
  
  
  The other languages (php, perl, java) has the same drops during the weekends as C#. Ruby on the other hand stays stable during the whole week.
  
  So can we say:
  

  1. That Ruby isn't very common language at 9-5 Mon-Fri jobs, so it more used by hobbiest then by professionals.
     
  2. Ruby programmers can't stop programming.

  C# Ruby

  No Comments

  A product of Google labs called "trends" is usefull to investigate search trends.
  
  What happes if we compare the search terms "C#" and "Ruby"?
  
  

  c#

  2.02

    

  ruby

  1.00

   
  
  
  
  What do we see in the graph, the Ruby line (red) stays pretty constant during the whole week, but the C# line (blue) drops during the weekend. Interesting isn't it?
  
  What conclusion can we make up with this info:
  

  1. Ruby is used by people that don’t have a personal life and spend the weekend developing stuff?
  2. C# is used by people that develop only on their 9-5, Mon-Fri job?

  A fair conclusion or does anybody has an other idea?
