This is it. Summary: comp.lang.ruby in 9th place behind C. Python in general a strong ally. msft a juggernaut. Java web gluecode offering nonexistent, attention mostly google toolkit (ajax concerns), but beaten out by plain javascript. CakePHP strong ally. Big movement with faces extremeprogramming is at the bottom, however we all know they moved to yahoo group. Still not good to just let google group die considering how folks would want to live in google groups. Actionable things or perspectives: msft dotnet is bigger juggernaut than supposed. Python. Cake. It’s not clear that adding more faces to RoR will gain ground. Maybe increase fame of current faces. It’s not clear the split of RoR groups into core, spinoffs, and talk was a good idea. Forge ties with Cake, Django and Pylons. ## Readership Numbers Last 40 hours, 3/23/07 9am est microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet 24871 web views last 40 hours comp.lang.python 23602 web views last 41 hours microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp 22733 web views last 40 hours comp.lang.java.programmer 22644 web views last 41 hours comp.lang.javascript 18927 web views last 40 hours Google Web Toolkit 18567 web views last 40 hours microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming 16756 web views last 40 hours comp.lang.c 16558 web views last 41 hours comp.lang.ruby 16485 web views last 41 hours Cake PHP 15077 web views last 41 hours comp.databases.oracle.server 14356 web views last 41 hours Ruby on Rails: Talk 10642 web views last 40 hours comp.lang.perl.misc 9067 web views last 41 hours comp.lang.php 6414 web views last 41 hours DotNetDevelopment, [VB.NET](http://VB.NET), C# .NET, [ADO.NET](http://ADO.NET), [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET), XML, XML Web Services,.NET Remoting 4665 web views last 40 hours Django developers 4059 web views last 41 hours Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs 3773 web views last 41 hours ruby-talk-google 3453 web views last 40 hours MochiKit 2424 web views last 40 hours comp.databases.mysql 2314 web views last 41 hours Ruby on Rails: Core 2070 web views last 40 hours pylons-discuss 1242 web views last 42 hours pgsql.general 1188 web views last 41 hours comp.software.extreme-programming 998 web views last 41 hours Behaviour Javascript Library 759 web views last 41 hours Sun JAVA, J2EE, EJB, Ant, Struts, Hibernate, JBoss Seam, Spring, 435 web views last 41 hours Laszlo on Rails 366 web views last 41 hours Java Web Application 322 web views last 41 hours sqlite-users 281 web views last 41 hours
