The first paragraph explains how the listing was obtained:
...The ratings are based on the world-wide availability of skilled engineers, courses and third party vendors. ... search engines...And yes, I find much of this surprising myself. For example, VB.NET only slightly above VFP (0.403% vs. 0.376%).
And, old-fashioned COBOL
on the rise???
