Tim O'Reilly. The wars of programming languages, part 1

In continuation of yesterday's topic TIOBE - a rating of programming languages published translation of a note by Tim O'Reilly from O'Reilly Radar.

Watching the boiling passions around my Pycon a Hiring Fest article and Mark Hedlund's commentary, which put Ruby higher than Python, I decided to splash some more gasoline into the fire :-).
A week ago, Mike Hendrickson, who heads our Open Technology Exchange group, which is responsible for the animal publishing program and the O'Reilly Network, brought me a sales schedule for books on programming languages ​​in January 2007 by compared with January 2006.

As you can see from the graph, sales of books in all languages ​​have decreased, except for Actionscript (Javascript for Flash), JavaScript, Ruby and SQL. Sales of books on Ruby have surpassed sales of books on Python. But the biggest win — apparently due to the popularity of Ajax — turned out to be Javascript.
This data is obtained from the “Bookscan top 3000” report. (Remember that data for all publishers is taken into account, not just O'Reilly.)
Wait for more provocative articles on the same topic.
