I think this poll was a little less skewed before news of it hit the Perl lists. Perl was at about the 33% mark, still by far better than any of the others... My VP asked after I sent him this info is: "What types of applications? How large of products/applications are they talking about here?" MasterCard is moving to a lot of Java for the "enterprise applications" - but I am making sure that Perl is still firmly rooted here. We use it for RAD development and lots of smaller, internal things. HTML::Mason is what I really enjoy for web apps :o). anyway, back on topic, I'd love to have seen maybe a more detailed poll. Also, I wonder if Sun was suprised by these results? brent On Tue, Jul 03, 2001 at 12:04:49PM -0400, Jesse Erlbaum wrote: > Someone emailed this to me yesterday: > > http://soldc.sun.com/polls/index.jshtml > > > According to this poll on the *Sun* developer site, Perl use for web > development exceeds that of C/C++, JSP, ASP and PHP -- *combined*! > > "What language do you use to develop web-based client applications? > > ASP 6.7% > C, C++ 9.9% > JSP 15.6% > PHP 10.3% > Perl 52.5% > other 4.7% > > > I would appreciate any other statistics of this nature.
