The TIOBE Programming Community index gives an indication of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a month.

I replied, genuinely, "Well, we’ve got an idea for a digital photo management program…" and he replied with a simple, "Yeah. Don’t do that one." Everyone in the room laughed“
