4. Java (had a good run but I think its coming to an end)
5. C# (new kid on the block that makes programming way too easy... what java should have been... [go mono!])
6. Assembly (sometimes you need really fine control)

743. Visual Basic (great for weekend warriors)

Got to toss in UNIX as a beautiful platform :thumbsup

Hopefully you're right. But Java development took a huge hit when Bill Joy left Sun and it really hasn't recovered. Combine that with never really getting their resource usage and portability under control, and I think those statistics are based more on momentum then anything else.

a blend of

1) comp sci classes from college, programming in C/C++.
2) self taught everything for web programming in perl
( easy to learn perl when you have C/C++ base to go off )


never did take a java class,but after my last year in college, all courses moved from C++ to java. *shrug*
