[Esben Mose Hansen]

I think this quote from the Perl manual sums up perl, if anyone is wondering whether they should learn Perl:

Some operators return the first value in the list. Some operators return the Last value in the list. Some operators return a count of successful operations. In general, they do what you want, unless you want consistency.

Not for the formally inclined

The statistics I presented are totally useless except for fun. And as I did not make clear, I (randomly!) took the top 10 Active projects. So the Languages a listed are REALLY used, not just be some dead projects; but as the project list shows, there is not a single game among them.

I could have taken games; In that case the stats would have been

C++/C: IIIIIII
Java: IIII
Python: I
Other: I

I've lumped C++ and C as mostly they were listed together; if not C++ was listed exclusively.

Oh yeah, I looked up what project the assembly was used for. It was a PowerPC emulator .

Please remember that all this is for fun! I'm not out to get the (insert-obscure-language-here) folks

For the record, since the moon is ascending and the orbital is crossing Pluto and Sirius, I'm a C++ man today. I love the template meta-language. But next month, I'll love some other lanugage Python, maybe. Or Ruby.
