Comments on: Is .NET or Java dying? http://jamescrisp.org/2007/06/05/is-net-or-java-dying/ C#, .NET, Ruby, Rails, book reviews, mind hacks, Wing Chun and the occasional personal bit.

Having them separate would be like separating "Java" programmers from "JVM" developers which is silly. They don't separate Ruby developers from Rails developers, C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET should all be combined in ".NET" I think they should combine the C# and .NET numbers.

Probably true if you think about it.

Ruby or Python wont replace Java, but they will pick up the slack where Java is lacking.<br/><br/>I'm hoping that people will realize that there is no silver bullet, and the more options available, the merrier.

I believe that what we'll start to see is a more even spread of different language usage. Ruby or Python wont replace Java, but they will pick up the slack where Java is lacking.

I'm hoping that people will realize that there is no silver bullet, and the more options available, the merrier.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics ;-)

Also on seek:
* clean or wash or janitor or iron or laundry or domestic = 4561
* "road work" = 3366
* dance or sing or entertain = 102

So clearly there are more cleaning jobs that Java, more road work than .Net, and more cabaret than Ruby.

"Her name was Lola, she was a show girl..."

Ruby i gaining. Gainging wery much. It will take some years for it to numbers even comparable with Java and .NET. The language must first grasp developers (which is happening wevy fast right now) and then in can atack large bussineses. Nah, you are so wrong in a way. Ruby i gaining. Gainging wery much.

In other words, the hype around the language significantly pre-dated the appearance of jobs requiring it.<br/><br/>It seems reasonable to hypothesise that the majority of listed job ads are for large, mature projects; so you might explain the above behaviour by saying that the lead-time before you start seeing lots of jobs is the time taken, on average, from starting a project with the language-du-jour to it becoming a major developer-sink.
