C - 47%;
Java - 28%.
')
Among scripting languages, JavaScript (20%) and Perl (18%) are leading. This is followed by PHP (11%) and Ruby (6%). This is a rather surprisingly low result for the last two, considering that Ruby is now widely known, and PHP is considered one of the main web development tools.
All statistics are given by the number of projects, and not by the number of lines of code.
In addition, the company has compiled a list of the ten best newcomers of the year from among free projects. For the measure, they took the number of releases as an objective indicator of developer activity.
The first place was taken by the P2P application based on the Gnutella Beacon Cache (191 release). This is followed by AnimeVision anime management software and a collection of add-ons for the popular blogging platform Wordpress Themes and Plugins .
